i work in a factory.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A factory (previously manufactory) or manufacturing plant is an industrial site, usually consisting of buildings and machinery, or more commonly a complex having several buildings, where workers manufacture goods or operate machines processing one product into another. Factories arose with the introduction of machinery during the Industrial Revolution when the capital and space requirements became too great for cottage industry or workshops. Early factories that contained small amounts of machinery, such as one or two spinning mules, and fewer than a dozen workers have been called \"glorified workshops\". Most modern factories have large warehouses or warehouse-like facilities that contain heavy equipment used for assembly line production. Large factories tend to be located with access to multiple modes of transportation, with some having rail, highway and water loading and unloading facilities. Factories may either make discrete products or some type of material continuously produced such as chemicals, pulp and paper, or refined oil products. Factories manufacturing chemicals are often called \"plants\" and may have most of their equipment \u2013 tanks, pressure vessels, chemical reactors, pumps and piping \u2013 outdoors and operated from control rooms.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I worked in adminstration/logistics in a chemical factory.

Many chemicals were very toxic. The TCSA, a law passed in 1976, made sure they were tightly regulated. I got the MSDS sheets (Material Safety Data Sheets) through my office--they listed the effects and toxicity."}, {"role": "user", "content": "He worked his way to a good position.
