      There are many dangerous things at my workplace, high voltage electricity, pressurised gas, nasty chemicals, moving vehicles and others

      Fortunately we operate a very safe system of work here, so if we have to work in a dangerous environment or situation we know how to do it safely

      Not really – we have good safety rules 🙂

      No, I don’t feel I’ve ever beenout in danger at work.
      Field work needs to be very carefully planned, to make sure everyhthing is safe. Usually you are working in a very small team away from large towns, so you need to make sure you think of everything that could go wrong and plan so that it doesn’t.

      Sometimes my work requires using hydrofluoric acid, which is really nasty. But if you are careful and concentrated, you are fine.
