Saw something off at the old Franklin Foundry site yesterday

They're demoing the old cupola furnace and the crew wasn't wearing proper respirators. Just basic dust masks. The silica dust cloud was thick. Anyone know the regs for demo crews on historic sites like that?

Silica dust is no joke, my uncle got really sick from that.

My buddy worked with concrete and got a bad cough that wouldn't go away. @johnson.jade is right, that stuff sneaks up on you. He's okay now but had to change jobs.
