That was interesting. Lets never do it again.

Coming back from morning tea, as we do every day.

Returning via the carpark, as we do every day. The carpark which has been partially claimed as offices and workspace for the builders who are constructing the new Data Center.

Smelled burnt metal, as if someone had been angle-grinding something. That wasn't as it was every day.

And neither was the asthma attack which came on me in the space of a few meters walking.

I have never gone from clear breathing to struggling for breath in that short a time before.

I wonder whom I should ask to try and make that sort of thing Not Happen Again.



UPDATE:

I have contacted the EHS rep, and also put in an official report. I was OK in the afternoon, but a huff when I got home still helped greatly. I have no idea what will happen next.

Is there some kind of OH&S rep? Failing that, HR.

Apparently we do... but he's been moved to another building in the eternal game of musical deckchairs on the Titanic they like to play here.

I've emailed him with a report, let's see what happens.

Round and round we go... where we stop, nobody knows! *whee*!

Good luck with getting some results. :-)
