“I regard high voltage electricity as one of the most toxic forms of electricity. Few people that come into contact with it survive. The higher the voltage, the less likely it is the person will survive. Those that do survive are typically maimed for life. Losing limbs is common, as are extensive burns, nerve damage and scarring. Having studied it, I will no longer work with it for safety reasons.”

“The only workplace that prevented a health and safety visit from occurring during my career was professional astronomy. They were adamant that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) were not going to be allowed to visit the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, USA. They were successful in canceling the scheduled OSHA visit and the result was I became much sicker as time progressed while working there. Part of that sickness was suspected mercury poisoning.”
