Sadly our plants are
not immune to workplace violence. From terrorist attacks, hostage taking, shootings,
physical violence have befallen some of our plants. The Aluminium Plant Safety
Blog has a recent story that could have had horrific results.
An employee of
an aluminum foundry in the USA was wounded when a gunman opened fire on a
co-worker at the end one day during the week of a Monday, June 18, 2017, police
said.
Local police
said they’re looking for the person who fired the shots. They said the shooter
was not employed by the company but was lying in wait for his intended target
and began shooting as employees were in the parking lot around 11:35 p.m.
The intended target was not struck by the gunfire, but another
employee was in his car when a bullet went through a side window and struck him
on the right side of his head.
He was taken to
30 kilometers for treatment. Police said his wound is not life-threatening. Police
said a person of interest is wanted for questioning, but they did not identify
that person.
We pray that the injured
worker recovers fully from their injuries. We hope that the aluminium foundry
will work with local police in protecting their employees when leaving work.
Please comment.
