An incident that occured in a gold treatment plant in Australia has lessons to be learnt for all of us in the chemical industry. In this incident, a cyanide line was being cleared of a choke using plant air. The hose was left connected to the system after the choke was cleared. As the blockage was not totally cleared, cyanide pressure went up more than the air pressure and cyanide entered the air system. Two employees were treated for cyanide poisoning.
