Hazardous goods operation
Canister with sulphuric acid damaged in truck
The fire department had to respond to a hazardous goods incident in Kirchbichl in the Tyrolean lowlands on Tuesday morning. Sulphuric acid had leaked from a truck due to a sudden braking maneuver. In the end, worse was prevented - nobody was injured.
A 29-year-old truck driver was supposed to deliver to a company in Kirchbichl on Tuesday morning. The van was loaded with a total of 36 canisters of sodium hydroxide solution and 48 canisters of sulphuric acid.
Due to a braking maneuver, a canister of sulfuric acid came loose.

According to the police, the delivery was properly secured with load bars in the truck. Each pallet was also wrapped in plastic sheeting. When the driver then reversed downhill to the company premises, it happened: "A canister of sulphuric acid came loose due to a braking maneuver. It fell over and burst open at the top," said the investigators.
Worker made an emergency call
During unloading, a worker noticed the leaking sulphuric acid - several liters - and immediately made an emergency call. The alerted fire department was ultimately able to prevent worse. They secured the load and cleaned the loading ramp. "The leakage of sulphuric acid did not cause any damage or danger to the environment," concluded the police.
