Mr. Niall Gleeson:
I would not say it is dangerous work but it is certainly hazardous. However, they are trained and they have all the personal protective equipment, PPE, that is required to work in those conditions. Obviously, when we are designing those plants, we try to reduce the risk as much as possible. A big part of our upgrade programme is to make sure the staff on the ground have not only good tools and equipment but a plant they can operate without any hazard.
