Do you work with dangerous material?

[Sainters7]

Is the internet dangerous material?

I work with mother####ing gravity. Gravity will ####ing kill you.

I was going to say that I work with an Oilers fan; however, I suppose that is ultimately an inert carbon unit

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Anybody work in Oilers PR?

[NuclearFart]

Blood, spit, urine, poop, PV discharge, and sometimes semen.

Apparently NuclearFart does.

My university days were much more interesting than they are now. Back then, I worked with radioactive isotopes, blood and bodily fluids, and for 1 interesting summer, a level 3 pathogen

I semi-regularly take X-rays, but they are relatively low output now with digital film taking and of course I'm behind a lead shield. All things considered, I have a very low risk job.

Of course, I also drive on the I-95 to work, which is only for the most addicted adrenaline junkies, so I guess I take my life in my hands every day doing that.

I work with taxes, I would consider those dangerous.

[Ashartus]

I don't work directly with hazardous materials but evaluate risks from exposures routinely. I tend to deal more with health of the general public and am always a bit shocked at how much higher occupational exposure limits are than the ones we use for the general public (theoretically because the workers are assumed to be healthy adults, not elderly, pregnant women, people with health conditions etc, in practice more of a consideration of voluntary vs. involuntary exposure).

I use to do a lot of hazardous materials assessments and then oversea the clean-up. I would take samples, but not do the actual cleanup work. Materials I've dealt with are asbestos, lead, PCBS, dioxins and furans, hydrocarbons, mould, and I was involved in one radioactive job at an old radium mine. No of days chlorine and citric acid are the only things I deal with.

Right now it's only high voltage electricity and heavy equipment really.

My last job had H2S, sulfur, hydrogen, bitumen, high pressure steam, all the fun stuff associated with refining petroleum products. Had to do an actual evacuation due to an ammonia leak, saw what happens when someone is doused in flammable fluid and lit on fire. After seeing the effect that fire (and electrical current) has on the human body; I never, ever slack on wearing my FR.

Ditto in the past. Radioactive? Yes. Heavy metals? You bet your ass. Intercalating cancer causing mofos? Damn right.

However....I'm on the professional side of things now. Boring.

The most dangerous things I've done other than finding out I sued a member of the Hell's Angels, are stringing explosive charges onto primacord and loading them into a perforating gun, age 15 to 17, and at age 18-19, working in hazardous materials as the lowest grunt decommissioning a fertilizer plant, digging through huge containers of catalyst with gloved fingers for days on end in a 30 degree warehouse while wearing a sealed protective suit, trying to get the unreacted bits. That was pure hell.
