What happens in a chemical leak?
When a chemical leak happens, like the one at Royal Liverpool Hospital, the first priority is safety. Emergency services, such as Merseyside Fire and Rescue, are called to assess the situation. They work to contain the substance, often by closing containers and ventilating the area to disperse harmful fumes, ensuring everyone is safe and the building can be used again.
