There are a series of WorkCover (Government Compulsory Insurance to cover
accidents at work that all employers must pay) advertisements on Victorian
TV at the moment about trying to increase safe work practices - one of them
shows someone in the background in a factory cutting down old 44 gallon
drums with electric cutting tools - while in the foreground a WorkCover
Inspector is talking to the supervisor cautioning him about the practice -
needless to say the remanents of the flammable substance in the drums is
ignited by the sparks of the cutting tool... lots of yelling and drama...
I'm sure that you get the idea... and who says the TV doesn't influence!!!!!
So my only advice is be careful
