The customer, a manufacturing facility, faced a significant challenge after a chemical explosion during cleaning operations severely injured several employees.

Rimkus investigated the facility's compliance with building codes, fire codes, and OSHA requirements, and reviewed its operational standards. Rimkus concluded that the facility itself was in compliance with all applicable codes and that the explosion resulted from employees not following proper cleaning procedures. Rimkus provided these findings in expert testimony for the client.
