Fire and rescue crews from the Zvulun station, along with a hazardous materials unit from the Haifa station, were dispatched recently to the "Tari Ve'Helek 2" factory at 1 HaMeyasdim Street in Shlomi.
The crews were dispatched after the Fire and Rescue Service's 102 emergency hotline received a report of an incident in which a worker was exposed to a hazardous substance while unloading it.
The worker reported experiencing a choking sensation and burning in his eyes.
The first crews to arrive at the scene isolated the affected area inside the factory and moved employees away from the danger zone.
This is a developing story.
