A couple years ago, a factory I was in had an emergency in which a worker punctured a drum of acid with his forklift. Why they had the drum out in the warehouse and not stored properly is beyond my understanding, but luckily the driver didn’t get hurt, and the spill only got on a pallet or two of product and onto the floor. Several people panicked when they saw what the contents were, but the cool-headed maintenance supervisor brought out a chemical spill kit and immediately cordoned off the area.
