Ergon Energy uniforms 'making workers sick' http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1220877026
 ENERGY workers are breaking out in blisters and vomiting after wearing potentially toxic uniforms. At least 143 Ergon Energy workers in Queensland have suffered severe allergic reactions to the flame-retardant uniforms recently rolled out to the state's 3400-strong workforce at a cost of about $3.5 million.... Workers also claim the Chinese-made uniforms release a yellow, bubbling substance when ironed that causes nausea and vomiting.
