Ammonia Leak Prompts Evacuation

An ammonia leak caused maintenance staff at Leddy Arena in Burlington, Vermont to be cleared

from the building recently, according to WCAX. The Burlington fire department responded to the arena just after midnight. When they got there, crews found that a strong smell of ammonia was present. The building was then cleared.

Maintenance, operations and engineering activities in institutional and commercial facilities come with a host of hazards. From arc flash training and fall protection to ladders and personal protection equipment, front-line workers must constantly pay attention to threats to their health and safety.
