It's from from a plumber who was infected with Legionnaire's at the Institute for Animal Health, one of the two laboratory facilities suspected in the foot and mouth outbreak.
It's amazing that six years after September 11th that there isn't greater security:
As a plumber, Ravate is not an expert in bio-safety but was amazed by the freedom he was given inside such a sensitive site. He says he was never given an induction, or asked to shower, wear protective clothing or even clean his hands before leaving the building. "We were allowed to walk around willy-nilly. We were left to it unaccompanied with no overalls, no masks and no gloves ... They [security guards] would say, ‘What time are you lads leaving? Just leave the doors open and we’ll lock it up afterwards’. We would just stroll out and give our badges back. “We were allowed to walk everywhere. There was nothing to prevent us going into the different isolation units.”
