H.A.Z Cleaners

I don't do it all for the pay, you know; I have two kids, and the last thing I want them to get sick from the stuff around this dump. - H.A.Z Cleaner

The Hazardous Antipollution Zone Cleaner, or H.A.Z, is a state-controlled clean organization in Gear Nation whose purpose is to remove hazardous material waste and decontaminate areas that have suffered from pollution.

Most who take up this line of work often suffer from health problems if exposed to much contamination; the only upside to this job is the pay that comes with it.
