I recently met with people at a very large enzyme manufacturer in NC. Immediately I was struck by the security in place as well as the obvious culture of "safety." I'm not sure how dangerous enzyme production is, but this place seemed to treat it like it was very volatile.

They, like many plants, had a large sign saying something like, "2034 days since our last accident." which made me want to ask what exactly happened 2034 days ago...?
