Walked into a new cabinet shop in Denver last week and noticed they weren't using any dust collection at all

I counted six guys sanding melamine with zero masks on and the air was so thick you could taste the MDF dust, has anyone else run into shops that just ignore basic safety like that?

Wait, six guys sanding melamine with zero ventilation? That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I've seen shops skip dust collection but never with that many guys breathing that junk in.

Melamine is actually the glue, not the wood, so they were probably breathing in formaldehyde too.
