It’s been reported six people were injured by a gas explosion in a Shepparton recycling plant last Tuesday.
The accident occurred while a metal shredder was being operated with two of the injured workers flown to the Alfred Hospital in critical and serious conditions.
Four others were transported to Goulburn Valley Health in stable condition.
The recycling plant provides services for residential and commercial recycling of gas bottles and fire extinguishers.
Emergency services were called following the explosion, and fire crews worked with Ambulance Victoria to treat the injured workers. A fire had been extinguished by the time they arrived.
The incident underscores the need for proper safety protocols in recycling plants and highlights the risks associated with handling potentially hazardous materials.
WorkSafe is investigating.
