An X-Ray company in a pulp mill inadvertently exposed a group of Welders to an X-Ray while they were checking a weld on a stainless steel pipe.
The Welders naturally protested and in the resulting investigation the X-Ray company apologized all over the place. But in their defense the company said that the workers only received the equivalent of one head to toe X-Ray.
However
One Welder said he was going to sue. He brought it up at the next Union Meeting that he was going to seek legal council.
When it was brought up that our welder was nowhere near the X-Ray incident when it happened, in fact he wasn’t even on the same floor, he told the union meeting that:
‘Never mind, I’m feeling the effects of the X-Ray right now.’
The Union Steward asked him to describe those symptoms.
“Well for one thing , my feet are glowing.”
