I worked in adminstration/logistics in a chemical factory. It was located at the end of a railroad spur specifically built for it.
Chemical factory sounds interesting. You like the job?
I don't work there, but yes, it was interesting. I was responsible for ordering more than 40 different raw material chemicals that we used.
WOw. That is a lot of different chemicals. Was it dangerous being around them?
Yes, but the company took safety very seriously. I should know. My father was the Safety Supervisor. They ran a tight ship. Many chemicals were very toxic. The TCSA, a law passed in 1976, made sure they were tightly regulated. I got the MSDS sheets (Material Safety Data Sheets) through my office--they listed the effects and toxicity.
