Do you work with dangerous material?
As the thread title implies, do you work with any dangerous materials? Is it on a daily basis? Weekly? What is the most dangerous product you deal with?
I'm curious because I recently started working in a smelter/refinery and I've been exposed to a plethora of deadly and dangerous materials that are all new to me.
Most notable, for me, would be Mercury. I work in a Mercury removal plant, and have to deal with several forms of HG on any given day. Be it Mercurous Chloride, or the much more dangerous Mercuric Chloride. Elemental Mercury is also common, but is dealt with through entirely different processes and is hardly a concern as personal involvement is minimal. Second to Mercury is definitely dynamite. Explosives are used to microblast the roasters, boilers, and drag. As often as once a week I'm carting around 100 1lbs sticks of dynamite.
Do you regularly work with ready or dangerous goods?
