We were in the prep phase so I think I can share this. It’s hot outside. These are Bags with gloves attached,

to remove asbestos insulation on abandoned steam lines so company can scrap the steel in a recycling effort around the plant. They are not doing it for the money, just cleaning up some clustered pipes, and tanks that are abandoned.

Wow. I've worked in glove boxes and fume hoods my entire adult life, but never quite on that scale. That's quite the undertaking. Kudos to your company.

1750 ln feet, this is the short side we are just starting. Scheduled 2 weeks. This is a small job too by the way.

I got a 60' stick delivered today. It’s miserable in the direct sunlight.

I believe it. I’ve never done any exterior glovebagging, but I can imagine. At least you’ve got some elbow room.

For those unfamiliar with the process, here’s the training video. (Be thankful you don’t have to watch this whole thing every year during refresher training.)

How often do gloves rip?

Actually not often. The gloves are similar to the yellow rubber cleaning gloves.
