I'll probably be fine though, like I said that guy has just been here a long time and seen some mighty lax standards on safety.(04-18-2016, 06:50 PM)Surge Wrote: This training guy. Telling us about the sky high number of carcinogens in this business and how everyone in it seems to go down to work related accidents and diseases. Not encouraging, but he's been in the business a long time and seen some much more lax safety standards and practices than are in place now so I'm not sure I want to consider him a reliable source.
What kind of work?
And what sort of hazards are we talking?
The training courses usually highlight some of the really nasty stuff to make you favor caution so that you aren't going recklessly into something dangerous.
I can tell you from field experience it is better to be cautious and overprepared when dealing with chemicals or automated machinery than it is to go in without a plan and end up with a nasty accident.
