| | | as i am someone who worked at the back end of a paper mill for 11 years, there are just some places you don't want to go wandering around unsupervised. Sorry if that seems against the ethos of this hobby, but a steel mill is a pretty dangerous place if you don't know what's going on around you. honestly, if you really really really want to see what goes on in one of these places, call the front office of the mill. Ask for their public relations department or general manager. Introduce yourself, tell them exactly why you'd like a tour and go from there. Be polite, be honest, tell them that you'd like to get some pictures if possible. If they don't like that idea, well, how bad do you want to see the inside. Go with it. the mill I worked at gave tours to the public all the time. If you use this method, you'll be reasonably safe, won't get burned/gassed/crushed looking at things. just my two cents anyway...

| | | I work in an active steel mill in western pa as a maintenance tech. Each mill is different, but using mine as an example, getting permission to enter the site as a regular member of the public is out of the question, much less photograph it. Even employees risk termination for snapping pics. It's taken very seriously. As for "infiltrating" the mill, good luck. You won't stand out at all, with no hardhat, no ppe, a big-ass camera, etc. Anything worth seeing is already being watched, whether it be guards or workers. There is literally a command center where >3 guards are watching the cameras 24/7, let alone the half dozen that are in patrol inside/outside. If caught, they'll most likely detain you & press trespassing charges. Lastly, mills are no place for sightseeing. It is a very dangerous environment that takes lives every year. I'm not trying to sound dramatic, but you could very easily get yourself or someone else hurt by not knowing what you are doing or where you are going. Inside, There is lots and lots of very big, very heavy and very hot stuff that is constantly on the move. Of course other places may be different. Use your head and don't be naive.

| yeah, i had to sign an NDA when i was hired with International Paper back in 2005 and that's just making paper. one of my friends and co-workers got his tits in a bind when he snapped some pics of the new kiln upgrade that was installed... luckily, the department management came to his aid as well as the union and he kept his job, but there were a few days of '...you might be fired for this...'
