Title: o2 and work
Post by Tojokom on Mar 20^th, 2008, 2:44pm

ok like stated in other posts ..lost 3 jobs to NOT being able to have o2 in the work place due to their policies.

currently working in a state prison and they wont allow o2 in there also

granted i'm in a place where dragging a o2 tank around would be seen as a sign of a weak spot and they would try ( the prisoners ) to extort any weakness they find.

much less as it stands if i get a hit at work i try to get away from the convicts because once again it would be a sign of weakness and they will attempt to use that.

i'm just wondering what problems others have encountered as far as getting o2 in a workplace for the odd day that you need to get 10 mins worth of o2 to avoid the hit.

yea but depending where i'm working at that day it could take 30 mins to get someone to come cover my assigned convicts..

or if i having a bad day fore i get to work i can work it out so my duty post is like 40 feet from the car.

You might just have to use the trex injections. That is my work backup plan.

Hawk is right, get an abortive that works.

I can't see any reason why you couldn't have a small tank in a back room or lunch room. No need for any prisoners to see what you're doing in a closed off place like that.

But yes...a fast abortive like Trex is another option. Just slip into a bathroom for 5 mins. and it's over with.

An E-tank could be used as a weapon in the wrong hands?

Brew, a stapil or paper clip can be a weapon in the wrong hands.

Charlotte, I'm just saying that they may have much more stringent rules about what employees can bring into a prison.

yea they take ANYTHING and i mean anything and turn it into a weapon.

roll a life magazine tight and tie it with strips of t-shirt or sheets = instant baton

break the head off the plastic spoon and then rub one end of the handle on concrete makes a nice deadly shiv to stick in someones eye or neck

padlock or couple bars of soap in a sock and it's nap time

and dont forget the crooked guards the bring in real knifes
and other weapons ( 8 months ago we found a 38 automatic 2 magazines and 50 bullets in a single man Lockdown cell

the Nurse brought it to him with his prozac meds

I'm very lucky since I work at a hospital, I can have all the 02 I want. If you can persuade your Neuro or M.D. to write a script, they CANNOT deny you from having 02 at your workplace.

I am in agreement on the inmate topic, but do they need to be aware? Can you keep an E-tank in the breakroom or in your locker?
