Looks like a subway tunnel to me. He does not even have the probe out. Gloves not taped. Suit looks strange and he is wearing an APR (very low level response). Otherwise, nice staged photo.

I really appreciate the chemical safety headlines, keep please them coming.

 

The photograph in the press release (see link below) about the dry drain incident caught the eye of our RSO.  I must admit this is the first time I've seen anyone using a Geiger counter to investigate an odor!

MADISON, NJ - A chemical smell from a dry drain in a science lab at Drew University is what brought in several sets of first responders to investigate on Thursday afternoon.

 

According Morris County Director Office of Emergency Management Jeffrey S. Paul said hazmat units were called to Drew University's Madison campus to investigate the report of a chemical or gasoline related odor.

 

The Madison Police Department and Madison Fire Department along with the Whippany Fire Departments Hazardous Materials Team were on site and the Whippany Fire Chief coordinated with the Morris County Hazardous Materials Team while they investigated the source of the odor, Paul said.

 

The smell was reported in the hall of the sciences building and first responders eventually the source was determined to be a dried out floor drain, Paul said.
