[QUOTE="Xexys, post: 1309108, member: 47259"] Ok, so here's an example for you and only you. Once, an item in an unmarked box broke open and upon further inspection it was deemed a hazardous material item. It was taken to the haz mat area for further review. While inspecting the material inside the unmarked brown box, it simply exploded, spewing a yellowish pink substance that quickly engulfed the entire area with a stench that is beyond words. Not only that, it was actually burning the clothes off of a supervisor that just happened to be walking by the area. The whole area was quickly shut down as nobody was prepared for such an instance. Yes, the haz mat personnel did not have masks on nor anybody in the affected area was prepared for what had happened. It was a wake up call to the procedures that were in place and really the only thing that came of this was to put in a ventilation unit. I say they had the opportunity to move it at this point. I don't recall if the item was ever identified. I transferred a short time later and never did find out what became of the instance. So if I become crippled in some way it's not my problem? It is this reaction by you that is the problem. How do you even know that they moved it there out of desperation? Do you even know where it is that I am describing? I think my story would/could be corroborated by all the individuals that were present. Not only that, it was so putrid that a large portion of the building had to be cordoned off. There were many management personnel there also. It was an accident waiting to happen and it did just that and when it did, they weren't prepared. [/QUOTE]
