JOB CONDITIONS Working ConditionsThe employee is continually exposed to a working environment consisting of smoke and irritating particulate impurities, acid fumes from pickling tanks, and large quantities of windblown dust and ash produced as by-product to the process. In addition, the nature of the industry results in extreme heat in the summer (typically 10‑15 degrees above outdoor temperature) and melting snow off of incoming material results in damp, cold working conditions in the winter.
The winter conditions are doubly hard to manage.
The galvanizing industry is heavy and demanding. Hazards include hypersensitive reaction to chemical environment, heat exhaustion, and dust and ash exposure. Constant exposure to burns, cuts, contusions, and eye injuries can make incidents high even under the best conditions.
