A man was taken to Guelph General Hospital after suffering serious injuries on the job.
Late Wednesday night, the man whose name has not been released, was working on a chemical storage tanker at Trimac Transportation just west of Guelph. While doing repairs he was exposed to nitric acid.
Trimac Transportation is a bulk carrier of chemicals and petroleum goods.
Emergency services responded to the scene just before 11 p.m. The Ministry of Labour is now investigating.
