I have ear plugs in. Ive run saws for 20 years day in day out trying my best to always wear hearing protection. If it's windy as hell I'll still dry cut. In early 2000s employers didn't give to shits about protection. We were dry cutting/ grinding inside schools and commercial buildings with no one saying anything but faster get it done, and everyone on the job sites all trades went with it. What's a young apprentice going to do other than join in if you wanted to keep your job......OSHA ramped up silica laws probably 8 years ago and it's now more enforced but it took 5 years for things to really change.
