Wear goggles or some type of eye protection. I just spent the last two hours in the ER having a doctor pluck a piece of rusty metal off my eyeball. (i tried to get it out, but no luck) Save yourself the hassle....wear goggles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Nopers, Valero/Ultramar in wilmington was the safest refinery I ever worked at and I've been in a bunch of em.

The explosion I refered to was at a small independent called Powerine Oil Company in Santa Fe springs.
No big deal, that place blew up on a regular basis.

Imagine a place with very flammable stuff at extremely high temperatures and pressures that is held together with JB weld and duct tape, that was Powerine. I fought at least a dozen serious fires in the 9 years I worked there.
It's been closed since 1995 but the funny thing is, I enjoyed working there more than any other place. The concept of never-ending crisis management brought the 400 or so employees very close together, like a family.
I haven't fought a class C fire since I left that place.
