Narrative

On December 3, 2018, two employees were making tablets of an automotive airbag propellant (MA3-71) on the rotary press. The employees were remotely operating the press from the hallway and observing the operation through a window. An explosion in the press occurred and a piece of metal shrapnel penetrated the glass window and lacerated one of the employee's shoulders. The injured employee was hospitalized.
