Guest G.J.M Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 i had the trainee engineer on the phone last week with a low resistance fault on a sounder line.Knowing the site i asked him to check the external sounder for water ingress.The sounder in question is a big industrial yoda alarm. Sure enough it was filled with water which went all over him when he took the front off.He had to take his clothes off and sit nude in his boiler suit while the staff put the wet items through the tumble dryer.

Tiss a funny site to see!!! 47925[/snapback] sounds like the fish processing plant we look after.Everything is hosed down at regauler intervals.I removed a sounder once and got the nice white overalls covered in rusty water. We put conduit drops to floor now to act as a drain but things still get soaked. I have regular disagreements with the Hitler Supervisors who try to spray my tools with disenfectant.It's bad enough being on sprayed ladders with wellies on without having rusty snips. If i'm ever called to the place and can't be bothered i would be tempted to say i had the runs on the medical questionaire you get when signing in. Don't think i would be allowed into the factory than.
