Re: "extraordinarily dangerous"

I entered the industry in '89. While the fab WAS antiquated, there were some decent safety standards in place. But I would not be surprised if there were blatant violations of environmental and physical safety regulations.

The facility I now work in is top-notch as far as safety, efficiency, throughput, etc., is concerned.

I did a couple of years as a "pool boy" before getting into semiconductors. I drove a compact pick-up carrying fifteen 2.5 gallon jugs of 10% sodium hypochlorite (clorox is 3%) along with eight 1 gallon jugs of muriatic acid, and nothing separating them but the milk crate holding the acid jugs. To this day, I do not believe there are any regulations for these trucks and the way they store their chemicals. If you find yourself behind a pool cleaner's truck in traffic, give him a few car lengths...
