During the summer of 2023, a potential explosion was averted at an industrial facility in Southern Ontario. A new printing press, not approved for use in Canada, was installed and started to signal operational issues during testing. Further complicating the matter, an unauthorized individual tampered with the gas meter set, creating an unsafe environment and posing a significant risk of explosion or fire if gas components failed. The unauthorized alteration to the gas supply caused
damages to many components that were exposed to the elevated gas pressures, resulting in some costly replacements.
