Due to NDA, I can't talk about specifics, but a fab is basically a bunch of small chemical plants in the same (giant) room. There are all sorts of dangerous chemicals in use, but there are multiple layers of safety equipment and protocols to ensure their safe use. Because of how seriously they take safety, the most common injuries were things like ergonomic strain or tripping down stairs. Every stairwell has multiple "Keep one hand free for the rail" signs. That being said, serious accidents have happened when employees violated procedures/protocols, failed to lock-out/tag-out, or defeated interlocks inappropriately. You can read about them in the press. For example: https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2018/10/intel_sued_for_1_million_in_wo.html https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2018/10/intel_sued... Employees who fail to follow safety protocols rarely keep their jobs, even if there happened to be no injuries.
