wow and i thought my galv plant was bad, at least we wear ppe, including nomex suits. but out kettles also are about4-5ft above the floor. but seems we all dip the same product sometimes.

@organisedkonfusion what company do you work at ?

[organisedkonfusion]

WOW!!! I work in steel (galvanizing lines) in canada and this process would be illegal. We wear hard hats, gloves, full uniforms, steeltoe boots, safety glasses and we have 4 1/2 foot guard rails all around our zinc and lead pans. These workers are not protected at all from a 850 degree celcius zinc pan...incredible....and sad.

It's cool to see the process - some captions would be helpful to understand the various dipping steps in different tanks. China talks about pollution prevention but this plants seems to just have the wind whipping through there, no containment of vapors from the environment and no safety gear for the crew either. Still, it is an interesting video.

No wonder we can't compete - no health & safety there?

Trip & fall in - ouch
