From Fallout Shelter Studio's in Rockland County, NY this is Safety Wars. On today's episode we discuss the current craze over N-95 respirator's and the employers requirements.

Jim was "triggered" this week from what he heard on the Rated R Safety Show with Jay Allen (on Safety FM). Jay spoke about people going to HR when they don't like people.
