A couple of problematic statements jumped out at me.

1) The lack of an EGC was described as not having a way to dissipate faults in the Earth.

2) They described gas leaks with respect to the explosion hazard, but did not mention the large amount of Carbon Monoxide in the 'city gas' that was used. I don't think they were using natural gas (methane) at that time period.

As I recall, town gas was created via a water-shift reaction using coal. The product was a mix of hydrogen and methane, with some carbon monoxide and nitrogen thrown in. Some processes flipped the CO and CH₄ relative proportions.

If there was a steel mill nearby, domestic gas -- called "stove gas", if I recall correctly -- was often mostly carbon monoxide, a byproduct of coke ovens.
