Explosion at Oracle Packaging Curtailed by "Booming"
HazWOPER Training Pays Off
On February 19, 2007, Oracle Packaging of Winston-Salem experienced an explosion in its aluminum rolling facility, severely damaging an 80,000 square foot building.
The company manufactures aluminum foil, so had within its confines 100,000 pounds of molten aluminum, 30,000 gallons of fuel oil and 30,000 gallons of various solvents.
Fortunately, due to training they received from IES, not one of these hazardous materials escaped the property and no one was injured.
