Concern about hazardous goods
Cleaning agent in broken package led to large-scale operation
A major incident occurred in Vomp in the Tyrolean district of Schwaz on Monday afternoon due to alleged hazardous goods. The employee (34) of a distribution center had inhaled parts of a cleaning agent. She had to be taken to hospital.
The incident happened at around 12.15 pm. Because a package was damaged, the 34-year-old opened it. Inside was a powdery cleaning agent. According to the police, the employee inhaled some of it. "When the woman complained of shortness of breath, a work colleague took her to the emergency room and set the rescue chain in motion," said the police.
Three fire departments alerted
The ambulance took the 34-year-old to Schwaz district hospital. She received outpatient treatment there. "As it was assumed that a hazardous substance was involved, the Jenbach, Schwaz and Vomp fire departments and a police hazardous goods patrol were also deployed."
However, the emergency services were quickly able to determine that it was a common household cleaning agent.
