Ammonia leak kills one

News reports coming in of an accident in an ammonia plant in Canada when a contractor employee who was doing weather proofing job on an ammonia storage tank was killed due to an ammonia release. Apparently, a piece of equipment struck a valve on the tank and caused the leak. This accident highlights the dangers of working with highly hazardous chemicals and the need for proper JSA's to be carried out.
