Mostly with Exxon since they've been having alot of vacancies lately.
My current company isn't very safe either. They're melting plastics to form sheets without proper ventilation. I'm not too sure about long term effects of inhaling Volatile Organic Carbon materials.
Yea, that's why a consulting job would be ideal but alas the reality of things is quite different.
I'll focus more on job hunting and cast my search range wider to see if I can reel in anything.
Was just hoping to get in some advice from veterans in the industry.
are you working in the factory or office? is the office same area as factory? plastic is toxic, if fuses with your lungs when it cools down from vapor, but not as bad as molten & welding, where metal vapor gets into your lungs and is permanent there, and your tissue will start covering those metals, only way to remove the metal is scrape them off your lungs, or apply ultra high heat to turn metal back into vapor, which i don't think is viable. that is why most welders have lung problems, even though welders considered higher pay grade than other workers. even wear gas mask, the fitting might not be 100% so there might still have leaks. like the Spetsnaz Moscow Theater rescue, the Spetznaz were wearing military grade gas mask, but many still fainted because the mask either leak or not fit properly.My current company isn't very safe either.

Consulting Job is more on paper & pen, but sometimes still need to go to site, same as Oil companies. but still, you deal with much less toxic stuffs, and they have tougher standards, but you aren't operating on a rig, so you don't really deal with the chemicals unless you are a site engineer.
anyway if you feel uncomfortable, something must be wrong, don't ignore the signal, because if you ignore, you start to get used to the bad effect, and you fall sick without realizing the problem. for me, if i spray paint, even with full mask on, i can still feel the effect afterwards. then pimple starts to pop up, these are supposingly non-toxic paints, so imagine if you deal with hazardous stuffs.
