Hello all, I recently left a large manufacturing
company that was knowingly allowing some of it’s employees including myself to wear improper safety PPE when working on machines that exposed us to high amounts of toxic gas (Phosphine). I discovered this finding through my own research and brought it up to upper management. They admitted they knew about the issue and allowed it to continue for almost another year before switching to the proper safety PPE. During the years I worked there, I commonly experienced severe headaches/ migraines, along with coughing, bloody nose and other issues. Several other members also experienced some or all of the symptoms.
I am concerned that I may have unknown long term health issues due to the years of exposure to phospine gas and using improper safety PPE.
Would something like this be worth speaking to a legal team about?
