Where is the most dangerous environment you have worked

[High Tower]

As the title says really

I only ask As this week I'm working in Rampton and I tell you what, I'm
Not easily scared but even I'm
On edge all week!

I'm working on the peaks ward!, it's the last remaining dangerous persons unit in existence outside of a prison. I've seen sights this week that would freak anyone out

The place i was referring to was many years ago and that same night a bloke escaped through a window climbed over a fence and was spotted running down the local train-track luckily no trains a 3am.... when they got him he had fainted from loss of blood... and the cringing part was they found half his mans dangly bag parts hanging on the barb wire still on the fence..... seriously disturbing.

Driving down the Falls Road many years ago when times were particularly volatile, UK plates on the van and the company I worked for's logo on the side - PAF Systems (although it didn't stand for Protestant Action Force!)....we were up in Springfield ind est and every time the building's lights flickered the local lads thought it was amusing to shout "get down!"

BNFL near Preston? when told this alarm sound means a radiation leak, just follow the red line (on the floor) to the nearest exit

 

[Fin170]

Worked in a few homes of dementia patients, the people themselves were all very polite nice people but that is a terrifying disease

As for actual locations, another one for the 'homes' of drug addicts.....and they were all storage heater jobs as well just to make things worse

Now Im in decommissioning of nuclear power stations, much better than the above (and having stood on top of the reactor* and received no dose it's almost disappointing)

*Well, after about 12ft of concrete anyway

Has to be in council houses, over the 18 months I did occupied rewires I found 3 loaded crossbows, 1 gun, a machete hanging off the back of a guys front door, a couple of baseball bats wrapped in barbed wire and a stun gun

walked into a flat one morning to find 3 lads bagging up whatever white powder they were dealing, and there's been a few times one of the lads have come across piles of money and or drugs in a dealers house


then there's the filthy stinking houses where you burn your overalls and dust sheets on a night after your done, give me a mental hospital/prison over council houses any day of the week atleast you know what your going into with them

 

[Brightspark2]

Done quite a bit of work in prisons, got to watch your back there as the guards your put with are bloody useless!...always on edge when your walking about...

Ill second that ...had a big black dude wave a gun in my face cos I stopped his 12yr old pinching my tools off sight.. didn't lay a finger on him just chased him off.

Beeston and Chappletown .. we had a 2yr contract and walked away after 6months with all the hassle we got.

I will add harehills to that list aswell

bloody site i`v been at recently

got there to find the old cutout smashed...there it was just hanging off the paper-lead

they`d just stuck a bit of 2.5 where the bullit should`v been....1.5/1.0 flat twin directly off the cutout (or what was left of it)...which then just snaked off through the window and wrapped round scaffolding ..then round the corner where it was just flailin about in the wind ...then to a metal double outlet that they were running drills/cement mixers etc off...no earth.

straightened it out for them as best i could.....TT`d it and gave it fault protection...as well as overload protection.

there were holes in the floor 2 lifts up.....the scaffolding was badly constructed with no headroom and minimal walk boards...

there were loads of plastic staps from the block pallets just strewn about everyware...

the list goes on....

This is proper interesting since i work in most the places you lot mention and im the opposite and will probably be way more nervous when i go on a site for first time properly which you lot do all the time probably and feel there probably full of more dangerous things then a ward. Patients are ----- cats really if you know how to work with and manage them iv never had any issues and worked with some really dangerous people you lot are scarier than patients to some i would say hahaha.
