Man I'm thirsty
Honestly, if you came up to me and told me hot water causes cancer I would probably tell you whatever too.My hub has been pretty good about providing bottled water to the employees during most days this summer , but they (management) has chose to store the bottled water outside , in direct sunlight for days and weeks . I approached a full-time safety rep today about the storing of the water in direct warm/hot sunlight , and how numerous studies have shown it causes cancer . My safety reps answer was "whatever" it has not been proven . But yet giving what happened in Birmingham just this week , one would think they would try to do better , as usual though guess not .
But dont let It sit out in the sun! That would be a crime.Wally post: 1414548 said:Drink Beer.
Bottled water left in the direct sunlight will no doubt cause melted plastic to seep into the water inside. I know that last time i drank a dasani water that was in the sun to long that i could definitely taste plastic. Not on just one occasion either.
Do i bring my own h20 and anything else i may want during the workday? You bet i do.
Don't bite the hand that hydrates you!NEVER take the water they give you there. Aside from the possibility that they've poisoned it, it's part of THEIR methods that you hydrate. If this means stopping at a convenience store once every 30 minutes for a drink then oh well! It's the methods! Gotta follow the methods!
No worries. That pastic engine cover,keeps all those fumes out.Let's not forget about the vehicle emissions we suck down every day by having the doors open in traffic. Perhaps the company should equip air purifiers in the vehicles. Point behind all of this is if you want to fight a battle, pick one that would actually get support, not one about some optional water bottles supplied by the company.
With or without info notices jammed in the crevices?No worries. That pastic engine cover,keeps all those fumes out.
