This story out of the Twin Cities kind of caught my eye this morning. Apparently there was some bad communication to workers around whether or not a biomed company had the rights to dispose of blood into the sewer system.
The one fella was pretty upset that, in the pursuit of his daily tasks working in the sewer, he had swallowed some of his bread and butter...which might have contained blood.
Now I'm all for worker protection and think (from my layman's perspective) that this merits an investigation. But if it's SOP for workers in the department to get sprayed in the face and swallow things from the sewer, then pitching a fit now seems like suing the tobacco companies for the bad breath you get
from smoking.
