I'm thinking of chemicals, old storage containers etc. Common sense applies strongly but many hazards are undetectable, I'm thinking of a few places I've been that have unnatural colours in puddles or intense acrid odors. shockface  Location: MD im so glad i have something to do on the weekends  |  |  Re: Hazardous Waste <Reply # 1 on 9/18/2010 1:25 PM >   buy yourself a respirator that does organic vapors and acid gas and learn what the signs mean. common sense and an acute sense of awareness will help as well.

Ie: - Make yourself aware of the common DOT hazard placards and NFPA 704 labeling (aka the Fire Diamond) - Before you hit a site, do a few minutes of research about what the hazards typically encountered in said industry are. For example, if I was exploring a petroleum refinery, I'd want to be aware that it possibly used large quantities of sulfuric or hydrofluoric acid once upon a time, and be aware of what hydrogen sulfide was. But at a plant that made something else... well, different set of hazards. - If you feel lightheaded, LEAVE. Never needed anything other than that, and I've done a fair bit of industry.
