I suppose but I don’t really remember to what degree, I was there shortly after leaving the Army, around 1974/5 I guess.

My plant was a Hercules plant and we had floors that used nitrogen blankets which could kill you if you spent too long on them, we had 10 story silos blow their tops and rain car sized debris down, while testing an instrument station in the field I knelt on a sidewalk and got contaminated with a caustic (catalyst?) that started eating my flesh which was very creepy and alarming, a fire burned from one of the silos of the plant across the street for months, and in the area other plants were constantly having something bad happening, like fires, or spills, or explosions, it was a very male oriented industrial community.

dang!

The floors and sidewalks are poisonous? That doesn’t sound like a good place to work!

Sounds like a delightful plant I worked at in Dayton. When I worked the 7 PM to 7 AM shift I was the only woman on the site. Management had to be paying off somebody to keep operating.
