"Liquid death", asbestos, nickel exposure. I really hope these are exaggerations in the press.

We did have these issues,but the asbestos thing caught us out,it was not known that it was in the plant!
Yes Nickel exposure is a worry,i'm thinking of retraining for a safer job! :eek:

Wiki extract (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_tetracarbonyl)

"Nickel carbonyl (IUPAC name: tetracarbonylnickel) is a colorless organometallic complex that is a versatile reagent, first described in 1890 by Ludwig Mond. It was the first metal simple carbonyl complex to be reported. Its volatility at room temperature and toxicity have earned the compound the nickname "liquid death."
