Man hospitalised following industrial estate explosion

A man has been taken to hospital as a result of injuries sustained in an explosion at an industrial estate in Scotland, with hazard identification methods potentially needing to be examined as a result.

It is not thought the male's injuries are life-threatening, but fire crews and ambulances were called to the Kirkhill Industrial Estate in Dyce when the incident occurred yesterday (August 24th).

The man is believed to have hurt his leg and was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment.

According to a report published by BBC News, a Scottish Ambulance Service spokesperson claimed an oil container had exploded at the scene.

Workers at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro recently threatened to go on strike as a result of an explosion at the location, which is set to be one of the places to host games in the 2014 Fifa World Cup.

A colleague suffered burns in a blast at the site, meaning emergency procedures may be questioned.
