worker burned to death...

The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog posts incidents from around the world. The posts come only from a wide range of media sources (internet, radio, newspaper, etc.). The APSB does not post incidents heard through the grapevine. Translating the media sources is sometimes difficult resulting in discrepancies and omissions. Nevertheless, a workers death is easily translated no matter the language. Here is a recent incident in Asia that emphasizes the continued need for hot temperature safety training and proper personal protection equipment. The following media story minus the company name, location lacks some basic information that maybe the readers can provide.

The APSB will update this post when further information is available.
