A person is never to young or old to learn and expand

To work for protea chemicals is quite dangorous because we work with different types of hazardous chemicals. I would go out to various costomers on a daily basis sometimes long distance with a road tanker and proceed offloading into the costomer tanks (20tons) depends what chemicals the costomer orders. I have good and open relationships with my co workers. Ive learnt to work carefully with the chemicals for safety reasons. I injoy the scenery specaily traveling far distance .most challenging is when i have to make decisions based on good work being done because its so easy to do the wrong but its even better to do whats good for the business and see the growth

Pros: Doing more than whats expected of you and not complaining
Cons: A persons body adapts to long working hours but needs rest
