A massive explosion rocked a lithium-ion battery recycling plant in Fredericktown, Missouri, on October 30. Video shows smoke pouring from the facility before two explosions, sending thick smoke into the air. The 225,000-square-foot plant, owned by Critical Mineral Recovery, is one of the world's largest battery processing facilities. Local authorities issued evacuation orders for parts of Fredericktown, urging others to shelter indoors. No injuries have been reported.

🚨 Workplace Safety Incident Alert 🚨 A chilling incident at a Walmart in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has sparked discussions about employee safety protocols. A bakery worker reportedly got locked inside a walk-in oven for several minutes, unable to escape. At NASP, we emphasize the importance of rigorous safety checks, employee training, and clear emergency protocols to prevent incidents like this. It’s crucial for companies to prioritize regular inspections and training on what to do in these types of emergencies. Remember: Safety should never be taken lightly. Stay informed, stay prepared, and always prioritize your team’s well-being.
