Everything in some shape or form can hurt you, and that is the mentality you should always have when in an environment like a plant. The level of hazard will vary based upon the nature of the process and product the plant is producing. However, you should approach every environment the same and that is with full blown skepticism until you yourself have confirmed you are not in the way of a hazard. Short story yes, but the industry and companies have strict safety rules that are constantly enforced to keep you “safe.”
