Re: wind direction
Do you work in this industry? If so, isn't this issue apart of the training and safety program? Even sub-contractors are trained on these and other safety issues before permitted to start work.

Re: wind direction
You have raised an excellent question about wind direction. It reminded me of my first days as an electrical apprenice in a large chemical plant.
The first rule when we went on a job, was to check for the wind direction, and I can tell you from experience that it is a good rule to follow.
You do not have time to find a wind sock and determine which way that the wind is blowing. I might add, I did not walk, we ran, and I was always out in front. This situation happened two times in my long career.

Re: wind direction
I also have worked in a chemical plant. While working on the outside we had a caulk sock on our tool pouch and if we hear the horn or some one yelled then we RUN don?t walk away from the caulk.
In two years I only had to run one time. After it was over and I found out that it was a false alarm the plant manger tried to get me to try out for the Olympia.
