I did my college school work experienceOn a massive gas import installation at Bacton on the Norfolk coast. I worked in one of the site laboratories.
The lab employed four highly-qualified chemists with a variety of scary postgraduate degrees and, I don't doubt, equally scary salaries. Their job was to watch a variety of instruments and, in the event that any of them showed a critical readout, perform a variety of safety-critical tasks that would help stop the site, and a big chunk of north Norfolk, being blown into smithereens.
Except that in the entire history of the site, it had never reached critical status. So their job basically involved watching some dials, and performing the occasional disaster recovery drill.
The spent most of their time playing cards.
