Chemical security

Eight treated after chemical spill

Six people have been decontaminated and two others suffered skin irritations after a chemical leak at a freight company in Sydney's west.
Emergency crews were called to a warehouse in Britton St, Smithfield around 4.30pm after 12 metal cylinders were found to be leaking an unknown liquid.
The eight people affected were treated in hospital and have been released.
Hazmat crews evacuated the area and worked for more than three hours before declaring the site safe at around 8pm, a Fire NSW spokesman said.
