A worker was hospitalized after a reported chemical incident at a West Hartford business on Friday, according to West Hartford Fire Chief Greg H. Priest.

Around 9:45 a.m., West Hartford Public Safety Dispatch received a report of a worker being injured in an explosion with a chemical on Railroad Place, Priest said. West Hartford Fire was dispatched along with the West Hartford Police Department and American Medical Response.

Upon arrival, fire officials located the worker, who was suffering from a non-life-threatening injury that occurred while working on a piece of equipment where a chemical was present. There was no active fire, Priest said, and no other workers were involved.

According to Priest, the worker was treated at the scene before being transported to a local hospital.

There was no apparent release of a chemical, and no danger to the public, Priest said. The incident was limited to the area immediately around the workspace.

As customary with any workplace incident, OSHA was called to the scene, Priest said. The cause and circumstances of the incident are under investigation by the West Hartford Fire Marshal’s office.
