Description

B&W negative copied in 1990 from official albums then held at Grangemouth refinery

Refinery and oil works staff once suffered a variety of skin diseases and cancers due to their constant exposure to oils and waxes, and a lack of bathroom facilities in the home. During the 1930s, Scottish Oils Ltd constructed bath and washing facilities at their works to combat this hazard.
