Do you have workers who clean in confined spaces? Here’s a cautionary tale for them.
A worker at a soup factory in Germany died after getting trapped inside a giant cauldron and cooking to death, according to the newspaper, Bild.
The man had climbed into the cauldron at the Eraso soup factory to clean it.
