    Spray operator health check

    Not really , I seem to remember it was something to do with it being organophosphate or non organophosphate ( it’s been a few years since I worked there), it was a easy way to see if the full face respirators were working.

    Tanker stolen

    It’s the company I work for who own the kit, the police wouldn’t let the information to be released to start with for unknown reasons and are not too bothered to help to recover the tanker. I don’t think it will turn up as it’s proberly hidden away knowing the lad who took it.
