Pyrotechnics Explosion- CaliforniaTwo Spanish-speaking women were employed by a manufacturer of pyrotechnic and explosive devices. While preparing a batch of pyrotechnic ignition formula (red lead plus powdered silicon), static electricity allegedly ignited the ignition batch and the women were seriously burned. The attorney for the plaintiff alleged that the pyrotechnic ignition mix was dangerous to the degree that no safety measures could have prevented the accident. Hence, the plaintiff's attorney sued the company that ordered the pyrotechnic devices. Chemaxx's role was to determine if the ignition mix was overly dangerous and to determine any other factors that may have contributed to the explosion. The issues involved OSHA Regulations, various definitions of the term explosive, National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) codes, DOT Regulations, Warnings and Instructions. |
