Being aware of the risk involved in a job you are working in is considered part of the job. The drawbacks of working in chemical manufacturing unit could be:

 Manufacturing chemicals usually is a continuous process; this means that, once a process has begun, it cannot be stopped when it is time for workers to go home. Split, weekend, and night shifts are common.

The plants usually are clean, although the continually running machines sometimes are loud and the interior of many plants can be hot.

Hardhats and safety goggles are mandatory and worn throughout the plant.

Hazards in the chemical industry can be substantial, but they generally are avoided through strict safety procedures. Workers are required to have protective gear and extensive knowledge of the dangers associated with the chemicals being handled. Body suits with breathing devices designed to filter out any harmful fumes are mandatory for work in dangerous environments.
