Danger! Danger!

At WUGA there aren't a lot of dangerous situations I think I could get myself in, but I guess there's danger everywhere, if you look hard enough. Since I have asthma, and at the station I work in some confined spaces where the air flow is poor or restricted, that could pose a hazard if I ever got a bad attack. There is a lot of electrical equipment at the radio station too, and I'm sure it's risky to be around so much wiring and whatnot. I mean, I've seen an electrical fire before, and it was extremely scary. Really I think things are pretty safe at the station, they have the required workplace safety posters posted up all over the place (it was actually my job one day to make sure they were all up to date) and they don't let the equipment get run down or fall into disrepair. I think as long as you have your wits about you, you can remain pretty safe.

After reading some articles about potential workplace hazards I've learned, well, not a whole lot. The articles basically reiterated what I said in the paragraph above, except with more technical terms. A lot of the information didn't apply to my workplace either. The radio station is a pretty safe place, as long as you don't take drink into the control room, which is strictly against the rules anyways.

Yes, I agree. It seems safe except for that weird black foam that sticks to your clothes!
