    I remeber a guy I knew who ended up in hospital after galvinized fumes. I never welded galvinized at that point, I figured it was all in his head. I later googled it an all sorts of specific things you can get from the chemical procces when heated. 

     

    Effects of Over-Exposure

     

    Short term:

    Zinc oxide fume causes a flu-like illness called metal fume fever. Symptoms of metal fume fever include headache, fever, chills,
    muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and tiredness. The symptoms usually start several hours after exposure. The attack
    may last 6 to 24 hours. Metal fume fever is more likely to occur after a period away from the job (after weekends or vacations). High levels of exposure to zinc oxide fume may cause a metallic or sweet taste in the mouth, dryness and irritation of the throat, and coughing at the time of exposure.

     

    Long term:

    None known.

    quick look into the high jobs, can you do it..... 306 feet up once was my highest and walked on a 10" pipe across about a 30 foot span......can you do it....

     

     It funny that you posted this particular video. I am Local 7 Ironworker in Boston. This was my job. I was in the raising gang from below ground until topping out. This video pisses me off because the guys in this video were not even on this job. That kid Chris S. was filming footage for some tv show that never got made. They are Local 7 Ironworkers, but his company does small projects, not high rise erection. But I guess the producers of the tv show wanted something more flashy, so they got permission to come to our job and shoot some footage. The reason the comments on the video are disabled is because people were calling him out on it.

     

    I posted a bunch of pictures of the building going up in progress while I was on the job on archboston.org, a site dedicated to Boston's architecture built environment.  

    If anyone is interested here they are:
