Brewery fine £3 Million following a release of ammonia.

A Northamptonshire brewing company was fined £3 Million following an ammonia gas leak which occurred in 2016. Birmingham Crown Court heard that twenty people were exposed to ammonia, and one person died, following a large, uncontrolled leak during the removal of a compressor from a refrigeration system.  It was several days before the leak was contained and gas levels dropped to a safe level. https://press.hse.gov.uk/2022/06/28/carlsberg-fined-3m-following-2016-ammonia-gas-leak
