Three people have been hospitalised following a minor chemical explosion at Sydney University. Fire and Rescue NSW said a worker was transporting two chemicals in a bucket when a reaction occurred, creating a minor explosion and “vapour cloud” on Tuesday morning. One worker was exposed to the vapour cloud, along with two tradespeople in the area. Paramedics were called to the campus just before 10am and transported the trio to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital with minor injuries.
The Services Building was evacuated as a precautionary measure, but there were no other disruptions to university activities. There is no ongoing safety risk to the community. “We’re grateful there do not seem to have been serious injuries as a result, however ambulance services are on campus and providing appropriate healthcare to the small number we’re aware of who require it,” the university said.
