    Explosion: Forklifts

    "Saxon" - Unfortunately I'm the second in command of the mechanical workshops and have no say in how the polyethylene plants should be run,i.e. cleaning regime! Of course I've suggested to the engineering team that they should do something about the oil/dirt, but it's like talking to a...
