Former RAFB Bio. Tester Talks OSHA Citations

The last round of OSHA citations released today and found more high exposure levels of carcinogens in different areas on the base.

Kristen Edwards, a former Robins Air Force Base worker, sampled the air and surface contamination. Edwards says at times base officials restrained her from telling employees about contamination issues. She recalls a luncheon on the base that happened last summer:

Edwards: “I took these swipes on a day that people were eating on carts with visible green and yellow stromium chromate dusts and cadmium. I was not allowed to tell the employees.”

Dustin: “So you had to sit there and watch people potentially ingest that?”

Edwards: “Yes.”

Dustin: “What was that like?”

Edwards: “Sickening, very sickening.”
