According to preliminary findings, the gas leak was due to a failure in a valve system that allowed hazardous substances to escape into the workplace environment.

Authorities, including local fire departments and environmental safety inspectors, are collaboratively examining the incident to determine the exact sequence of events and any potential safety lapses. The company is cooperating fully with investigators, and operations have been temporarily halted at the affected site to ensure safety.
