With OSHA's push for safety at construction sites some construction companies are prohibiting them from use, but there is no federal OSHA standard banning them. I didn't track down to see if any of the states running their own OSH plan regulates them, but fed OSHA definitely does not. They are not banned by OSHA.

I've always said that when someone proves it to me, I'll take them off. Then again I bailed out of this field when I found out the horrible after affects of using the vinyl compound (tapping mud) used in coating and tapping. Wet it's no problem, sanding this stuff is an instant problem. You think silicosis is bad....this stuff will make that look like a sniffle!

I see guys on the jobs using them all the time. Osha comes around to the jobs sometimes for inspections too. Most are comercial jobs that I'm on. No, I’m a contractor.
