on a plant or in a plant?

Angelica, thank you! There is another confusion: - in our plant or on our plant (reffering to a factory)?

Re: on a plant or in a plant?

"On our plant" would mean on the roof.
"In a plant" would be correct; "at a plant" is also correct.
In Canadian English, we'd more likely say "factory" instead of "plant."
