In my former Clinical life, I used the same analogy--it's funny to see
someone else thinking the same way (sorry for you!) Mine was "If you're
cutting wood, you're going to have sawdust".
This was not amusing to the pregnant pathologist that fell.
We used tacky tracks, tile with grit, stripping the wax off the floor and
rugs. We also used stainless steel scrub pads on a stick to get the
paraffin out of the grit in the new tile floor that was supposed to work so
well. The key is to clean it up when it falls as best you can. Maybe your
engineers should take a look at our Section Transfer System that allows the
ribbons to flow down a ramp directly into the water bath. No ribbons to fly
away! and no cutting in a box!

wanted to figure a way to catch flying ribbons by

the floor!" It is the nature of the work and having
good ventilation mean the air flows pretty good in our
