inspection, cleaning and improvement

[Video footage]

We cut to an aerial shot of the plant during the day, tracking to the left. A road runs up the left side of the shot. Cut to mid-shot of workers dressed in safety gear walking towards and then past the camera; some wear blue coveralls, others red coveralls, and still others black coveralls, and all have hardhats with safety goggles perched on top. A large orange site vehicle drives slowly behind these workers and to the right of frame, and we see metal structures in the background.
