BioChem Industries, a mid-sized chemical manufacturing plant, specializes in producing disinfectants and industrial solvents. The facility houses several production lines that handle biological agents, hazardous chemicals, and high-temperature processes. During a routine batch production shift, an unexpected chemical reaction triggers a series of hazardous events that expose workers to chloramine vapors, which quickly spread through the production area, causing severe respiratory distress among workers. In the chaos, a worker attempting to shut off the emergency valve accidentally ruptures a storage container holding bacterial cultures. The contaminated liquid spills across the floor, causing two lab workers to slip and fall, exposing them to pathogenic microorganisms and increasing the risk of infection through inhalation and skin contact. Finally, the heat generated by the uncontrolled chemical reaction causes a rapid increase in the boiler temperature and overloads the emergency cooling system, creating intense radiant heat, leading to heat exhaustion and dehydration.Choose all of the correct answers.
