Interesting day @ work today.

This morning we had a meeting in the Vauxhall boardroom of the ERECT Team ( Emergency Response something something Team )
We had a Pandemic Flu planning meeting with the local health authority , police and ambulance service.
I won't bore you with all three hours of the meeting , but some interesting facts did arise ?

It's not a question of if , but when we have a Pandemic Flu outbreak in Europe

It will only take an average of 6/8 hours after infection for symptoms to show !

Within 48 hours of the start of infection we would have over 50% of staff infected

After 48 hours it would take nearly eight weeks for things to return to normal.

A total of 349,000 people will be estimated to die from it in the UK following an outbreak  
But the ERECT Team will be alright because we are going to have the special flu jab to minimise the effects of infection because we have to run the business

Then this afternoon we took a body up to the Press Shop and throw it off the overhead crane from a height of 25m.

This was done because of fears regarding suspension trauma , anyone working at height has to wear a safety harness and clip it on to an anchor point.
If they fall they will not hit the floor but will be left dangling 25m up in the air.

Our own Fire fighters/Plant Protection team got the dummy down in just under ten minutes after being called by telephone , that'll do for me

That's what you think. No point trying to help the already weak.
Us strong ones will survive.

Nice to see whoever named the team was taking it seriously.
