At least 20 workers were hospitalized after an explosion at a Slim Jim plant in Garner, N.C., a suburb of Raleigh. According to news reports, three workers are still unaccounted for, but may not have been at the plant during the explosion. Officials are keeping people away from the site because fire fighters are still trying to contain the blaze and a toxic cloud of ammonia is still hanging in the air in the vicinity of the plant.
Industrial accidents such as this one often result in serious injuries and even death to employees working at the site of the accident. Unfortunately, many industrial accidents are preventable. When an accident is caused by the plant's failure to follow OSHA safety standards, injury victims are entitled to compensation for their pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
