ALLTHOUGH I AM NO LONGER A MILL REPAIRMAN (I MOVED UP TO SUPERVISOR )IT IS ONE OF THE DIRTIEST JOBS I HAVE EVER HAD. THE ENTIRE MILLING PROCESS CREATES DUST, MUD, MOLYBDENUM, AND COPPER CONCENTRATE. NOT TO MENTION THE CHEMICALS USED IN THE PROCESS SMELL FROM EVERYTHING LIKE PINE TREES TO FLATULENCE.GREASE,RUST,COPPER CONCENTRATE WILL STAIN YOUR CLOTHES AND SKIN SO BAD YOUR MOTHER CANT RECOGONISE YOU. IN SOME OF THE BUILDINGS YOU DONT HAVE TO TOUCH ANYTHING TO GET DIRTY.AS THE JOB NAME IMPLIES YOU REPAIR ANYTHING THAT BREAKS,FROM PIPE TO THE EQUIPMENT USED TO MAKE COPPER,(CRUSHERS,MILLS,FLOATATION MACHINES,AND FILTERS),CRAWLING IN AND ON EVERY THING IN SIGHT WILL GIVE YOU THE FEELING THAT YOU PICKED THE WRONG PROFESSION. YES ITS DIRTY BUT I DID ENJOY THE JOB. AND YES AS A SUPERVISOR I STILL GET DIRTY, JUST NOT AS MUCH AS I USED TO.
