Re: toxic chemicals in workplace

More | Report Post

Steve,

I was just exposed to some toxic chemicals from this tee shirt
company. Their exhausts are now somehow intertwined with our
heating system. I had terrible reactions to it. Now I'm
worried that my employer is going to terminate me since I filed
a complaint with MOSH.

Please help,

Dave
