No contact lenses for tanker drivers?

These vapor releases aren't the norm. However, when they do happen you have to be prepared and properly equipped. As an example, if I'm delivering to an oil rig the first things I'm doing is checking windsocks, whether H2S is present and if so getting my H2S monitor clipped on my safety vest. I locate the upwind muster areas, then exit the truck and proceed with my business.

Has my H2S monitor ever gone off? No. Is H2S lethal? Yes. The chances of something happening are slim. The rig operators focus on safety. But every year good men die from H2S exposure.

Stuff happens. Be ready.

 

What sort of stuff does Schneider Bulk haul. Gasoline? Going to give them a call today and see if they will accept me if I offer to pay my air fare there. They told me I need to live near Texas tho.

 

I'm the same way. I hated to wear glasses especially at night. I had cataract surgery on my left eye back in september that's left that eye 20 20 now. Since I'm 20 25 in my right eye I never wear contacts anymore and always keep my glasses close by till I can get that restriction off of me.

 

No they don't haul gas. For me to list all the products they haul would take all night.

 

I can't assure you of much, but I can guarantee that you could drive for Schneider Bulk for 30 years and wear contacts everyday without anyone ever saying a word. Nobody will check, nobody cares.

 

It seems companies have a lot of rules that they do not enforce or really care about. They have them to cover their ### legaly. If something happens they are not responsible because they have rules.

 

Your comment reminded me of a conversation a friend of mine had with his daughter once. She was upset because she felt it was just as much the man's responsibility as hers to use birth control. I will never forget her fathers reply. The man don't get pregnant YOU DO! Its the same with this topic. The company is not the one that is risking blindness, its YOU!

 

Was anyone disputing that?
