Ok, so this will probably count as lame but damn it nobody seems to know this shit and it could fucking kill you if you don't.
Toner, that powder shit in laser printers, is extremely dangerous stuff. For starters much of it is carcinogenic. (It causes cancer.) If you breath it this shit can cause serious lung problems. Like lung disease.
If you spill some on you, wash with COLD water. The shit is heat sensitive so use cold water. If you spill it on the floor don’t use a vacuum to clean it up. First off the powder is so fine it’ll blow right through a HEPA filter. Second off your ordinary vacuum doesn’t have a dust explosion proof motor. Basically, if you vacuum high concentrations of very fine particles like toner there’s a good chance it’ll cause your vacuum to explode.
Why am I posting this? Because I had a fucking laserjet explode on me today and the first thing some retard in the office did was go get the vacuum. I’m looking at him covered with pink fucking toner and I wanted to rip his head off.
All I could say was “It’s not flower you idiot. Get that fucking vacuum away from me and go get the God Damn MSDS for this shit, THEN go get the god damn water vac and clean it up right.”
Sure it was 50 degrees outside but that's STILL way to cold to stand outside while one of your sadistic coworkers hoses you down with a garden hose.
Fuck
