Herts Uni handyman dismissed over mustard gas
A worker at the University of Hertfordshire was lawfully dismissed after accidentally producing mustard gas during pool maintenance, which led to the evacuation of the pool and gym. The tribunal found that the employee’s actions, including failing to properly manage chemical spillages and breaching safety protocols, constituted a deliberate breach of health and safety rules. Despite his long service, the incident was deemed avoidable and posed a risk to health and safety.
