Indeed Dave: I have been a victim of that very circumstance, by being
partially trained (only the training to get the job done ). There
was n0 training in what a complete bombing cycle could do and they
failed to give and instructions on what to do if anything was
contaminated! their common practice was to dump the hydrocyanic down
the drain and into a gold trap, then they would pour spent acid
down the same drain.. after bophal India happened my awareness of
what cyanide could do was sparked. the very next day a Vietnamese
coworker exhibited his usual selective hearing he was late in
quenching the acid, the acid reacted and went all over my bare skin,
wasn't that an interesting way to bomb... bent over a steaming bowl
of hydrocyanic acid and having no clue what the acid would do if it
reacted, my ex boss failed to inform me of what was possible... i
had no clue what it could do to my body, 5 Years later liver
problems began to be a part of my life. Seems as though they warn
about it but no government agency seems to give a dam... After i got
fired for being a disgruntled worker (dam right I was mad when I
found out the potential life threat), after i found out the
environmental impact, i started to store the acid... of course my
boss had the acid stored right next to my bench! unreacted and
lethal! but when i tried to inform the EPA they said i was a
disgruntled worker and they said they did not respond to disgruntled
worker accusation... that was in 1985... Still to day I have nothing
to help my battle and no resource can seem to put them in their
place... as late as 95 i found a guy from Hawaii who did some
bombing in the shop poured the acid on the ground.. that was the
last year i could work full time, we definitely should require all!
jewelers to have some hazmat training...At least they might not be
looking at a compromised life and a looming liver transplant! Just
another two bits worth...God Bless America... Ringman
