This happened few years ago but came back to mind for some reason. We needed 1 kg weight to calibrate one of our measurements. I said I'll get something. Put bolts in bag or just water bottle or something. I went to drink coffee. Guy comes little later and shows piece of lead hammers head he had cut with angle grinder few times to get 1kg. I freak out and say all kind of nasty things about his stupidity.

From that day on I stayed away from welding/cutting station. Our main workplace is luckily not in same space. How bad is this incident really. To guy who did it, without any respirator. And others who use same space days and weeks following this deed. And space nearby that is only separetad by plastic curtains about 2m high.
