Fires can cause severe injuries and also do damage to property. Fires can cause burn injuries that are quite painful and impact victim’s lives for years to come. Accidents that happen at the workplace can be especially hard to individuals to deal with. Employers have a responsibility to ensure their workplace is safe for all of their employees.
On June 5, fire officials responded to Trillium Brewing Company in Canton after receiving a report about a 55-year-old man suffering from serious burns. The incident was reported around 4:45 in the afternoon. The man was transported by medical helicopter to Brigham and Women’s hospital where he is reported to be in serious but stable condition. The victim was a contractor working on the brewery’s equipment. Officials say that it is unclear how he received the burn, but that it is likely related to his work at the brewery.
