Loading ...You are one lucky due lol But you did have a lot of knowledge of what your were handling as far as strength and the precautions. Most lay people have to clue. It seemed they had pretty good precautions but not speaking with any knowledge on what you did.
However when as a teen I worked with explosives away from the city in multi different buildings to do something different than nursing for awhile while still a student I didn’t see a lot of life saving measures. Yes safety measures like machines, ground wires, we wore only cotton to help prevent static etc but things would still happen. It mostly revolved around getting burnt or blown up. We had to wear earplugs at all times because things were always popping in the machines. We also worked with raw forms not machine protection and corrosive chemicals.
There was no eye washes and depending who you worked with experienced people to handle injuries except a medical station but not on hand first responders No showers for more severe cases like your see in a lab. That resulted in one case where one guy got blown out of his shoes the severely burnt survivor not having a shower and first responder help wound up running quite a distance to a pond with dirty water no less and he died too. If they made any improvements since then I don’t know. Had a patient few years later with blackened fingers burn with the powder so at least they had better medical care and probably workmans comp they didn’t seem to have when I was there.
