Industrial accident

A man suffered burns to 18 per cent of his body in an industrial accident at a warehouse in Victoria  when he was  decanting a gas cylinder. It appears the pilot light in the pressure washer may have ignited the gas although further investigations are still ongoing.

 FYI NSW WorkCover put out a safety alert on decanting of LPG into cylinders
