FOUR employees at a delivery firm in Ramsbottom had to be taken to hospital when caustic soda leaked from 300 litre drum.
Firefighters wearing chemical protection suits sealed the leak at the TNT delivery depot in Railway Street at around 6.30pm on Thursday.
They then removed the container for collection by a specialist waste management service.
The employees were not affected by the chemical, but taken for precautionary check-ups.
