Every time I see these pictures I have to wonder just how many closed casket funerals resulted from workers falling to their deaths. Just looking at the picture is viscerally terrifying.

Didn't hard hats get invented when workers were getting killed at the Hoover dam and one dipped their hat in tar and let it dry or something? I wouldn't be surprised if almost all ppe was less than a hundred years old and took decades longer to get adopted in any serous way

But didnt come into regular use until the 60s. OgNar fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Jun 1, 2021 |

Even the plague doctor masks were less silly than they look, though obviously suffering from not knowing about bacteria and viruses. They're basically a long filter chamber packed with some sort of wadding soaked in material they hoped would have a protective effect. I'd rather have a surgical mask, but a snout full of linen wadding with some camphor was probably a whole lot better than nothing. (Especially combined with the protective leather suits they wore.)

HEPA filters date to the Second World War and originally used asbestos.

Brutalism is cool too but with the very important caveat that it has to be surrounded by (and preferably covered in) vegetation.

Brutalism covered in green plants is indeed cool - good brutalist designs often have really generous open spaces, but they need the plants to make that feel pleasant instead of oppressive.
