Ladies & gentlemen an update for you.The family have had a visit from NG Bailey reps & the charge hand on the job & have been informed of what happened.
I have checked that they are ok with me passing on the info & they say thank you for all the well wishes of the forum members.
The two lads involved did in actual fact carry out safe isolation.
They were in the main plant room & had isolated chamber, removed cover both checked isolated (the young lad is an apprentice, the other fella was Baileys charge hand), charge hand leaves room to call sparks at other end of circuit to say all isolated (no signal in the plant room), gets back into plant room & apprentice is looking in the chamber when it goes bang.
He wasnt doing anything to it & all they had done was to isolate. All concerned (HSE Baileys etc) are saying equipment failure & the manufacturer of equipment has now to check their kit.
I (and his parents) have no idea of who the manufacturer of the kit is...
The lad is still on the critical list in icu & this morning under went 5 hours of grafts. He has been put into a medical induced coma.
