A very happy workforce 2

I took a glass sample tube which I had evacuated before I came, from my bag. Opened the valve and what had been a vacuum was now a sample of the air in the paint shop.

“What are you going to do?” The manager asked.

“Analyse it.” I said, simply.

He was NOT so happy, nor were the workers.

Back in the lab I analysed the sample.

There were dangerous amounts of ethanol (alcohol).

I reported it to the Safety Officer. The department was immediately closed and the workers redeployed. I did not go near the area for some while!
