I have an awful conflict. I work in auto-salvage/recycling. Some refer to my place of business as an auto "grave-yard", "bone-yard - a "junk yard" - but it is a more vital business than most realize - to the economy, and to our environment. I love my job. I've only been there for about 3 months. However, there are violations occuring on a daily basis - by health/safety and environmental standards. Every day, motor oil, antifreeze, gear-oils, transmission, brake, & power-steering fluids, among other toxins, are spilled. I am not speaking of "drips" or "leaks". There are literally gallons of "haz-mats" being spilled. The proper, and full, draining and containment that is supposed to occur - is not occuring. Attempts are made, to "clean-up", but I am sure it is not enough. I have been doused several times. 2 days have not passed (I don't recall 1 day) that I have not been cut - bled - most usually on the hands/arms - yesterday a co-worker got 10 stitches. Can I anonymously report this?
