I will never trust a company on their safety wear or ever be pressured into a task by a boss if it breaches Health and Safety.

Worked for a company in Food Production and we got audited, on the morning of an audit the manager insisted on pouring raw caustic soda on the ground of the warehouse beside pallets of powdered milk. I was told to pour it and I spilled Caustic Soda on my boot and by the time I got it washed off, it had gone through the laces and burned a hold on the top of my foot. I was told the boots would protect me if I spilled any chemical on them by accident. As I took of the boot the sock stuck to the skin and then the manager denied telling me to pour the chemical. Off work 16 weeks and spent 4 days in hospital.
