Fireball 02.11.2005

— filed under:

A 19-year-old went to work for a company that cleaned industrial and residential ductwork. He and his co-workers were cleaning the inside of a duct that was part of a paint booth. It was the 19-year-old's job to scrape the paint residue off the walls of the duct. While he was inside, paint particles ignited, resulting in a fireball. He crawled out of the duct with third degree burns to over 82% of his body.

“Safe Start” is the culmination of all the effort the European Agency has made in mainstreaming OSH into education since 2001. ENETOSH expresses its clear commitment to EW 2006. We are promoting “Safe Start” on our website, included the Safe Start logo in our leaflet and are calling on our partners to sign the charter. In addition we dedicated our yearly event, Training & Innovation on 7-8 July, to the Week and we will publish a trainer manual Work and Health in October 2006.
