@obi @HikerFromVA well, first off, good morning!!!!

I work as an Industrial Hygienist. That means I deal with workplace hazards or stressors from various exposure routes, and help in strategies to mitigate them by recommending administrative controls (documents, procedures), engineering controls (reduce the exposure hazard), or personal protective equipment (gloves, respirators, anti-contamination clothing, etc.).

How’s that for an early morning eye opener?

@BigDogBo Ahhhhhh. You are kind of like an EHS Manager? My last job, until recently, I was in charge of all the handling of HazMat/HazWast. I.e took care of all recycling needs, oils/coolants, hazardous material, hazwaste, and was the Safety lead, as well as the 2nd shift Union rep. We had 3 plants at the facility. Kept me busy. To get the place ready for closure, I worked for a 15 months 6-7 days a week, 10-12hrs a day and loved every bit of it. New company that bought the facility said they would be hiring in early 2023, so maybe go back. I guess are jobs purposes were similar maybe?

I stuck around to the end, didn't look for another jobs, closed the plant, so now I am going to school for free. Just about to finish first semester.
