摘要

A worker who was using , acetone to clean components at a factory suffered burns to his hands and legs after the chemical caught fire.rnLeicester magistrates court heard that Naran Hirani had poured some of the highly flammable acetone into a plastic jug and was using a small brush to clean debris and oil from transformers at the Parmeko Plc factory. But no attention had been given to the fire risk arising from uncontrolled vapour release from the chemical near sources of heat, flame or sparks.
