Explosion in Styrian Company: Workers Suffered Severe Burns

Three workers were partly severely injured in an explosion during maintenance work at an industrial plant north of Graz on Tuesday afternoon. A 41-year-old had used a cooling spray on a machine and then used a soldering device. The aerosol from the spray likely ignited due to the soldering, which probably led to the explosion.
