@ all Thanks. Sometimes you don't know what to look for and so don't get any hits. I think I've made my choice on the one that is shortest but clearest to the layman (but thanks to you all again)

BA firefighting operations (breathing apparatus)

Presuming you're in the EU here is some interesting reading to get started.

Not referring to bad attitude or worse! ;-)

smoke and chemical diving

A strange term which I had crop up in a text a couple of weeks ago in Norwegian. I didn't know, but the term is in fact "diving", and is a profession (see reference).

Why pregnant women would do this, however, is beyond me!

Peer comment(s):
agree Helen Johnson : Maybe women in the very early stages of pregnancy and still at work might think they have to still do what might normally be asked of them so the stipulation's been included to cover eventualities (only reason I can think of)
