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 week of November 2, 2014 an aluminum company occurred a 2nd leak occurred due to high temperature material burns caused the accident, the accident killed a total of one person.

According to the local newspaper: around at 12:00 one day during the week of November 2, 2014 , an aluminum co., the second-tier separation settlement workshop production of a settling tank bottom plate suddenly rupture occurs, resulting in high-temperature materials tank leak , causing a man was burned to death.

4 pm , the aluminum co., an office staff told reporters that the accident was burning to death was a 50 -year-old male worker . “As a high-risk industry, there must be a hundred secret sparse , such accidents is a normal accident , at present , the company has an accident escalation , compensation will be carried out in accordance with relevant state regulations .”

The Aluminium Plant Safety Blog offers our sincere condolences to the deceased worker’s family, friends, and coworkers.

The APSB debated whether or not to post this incident. What occurred is not clear. What is clear is that an aluminium worker was killed on the job. Possibly from a hot liquid. What type of hot liquid?

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