If you ask a fireman near an aluminium plant what
is their nightmare scenario. They commonly will say responding to an incident
at the nearby aluminium plant. Why? Because, some of our hazards in our workplace
have the potential to be horrific. Here is a recent incident the emphasizes the
hazard of molten metal safety in our industry:
The explosion hit an aluminum melting furnace at a metallurgical company;
the causes are being investigated.
The death toll in the explosion that destroyed a metallurgical company one
morning the first week in September 2023 rose to five. The incident took place
in the (town name omitted) neighborhood and the information was released by the
City Hall. Dozens of people were injured.
The explosion hit an aluminum melting furnace. The cause of the accident
will be investigated.
The Fire Department reported that it was called around 10:40 am. There
were 13 vehicles and two helicopters mobilized to rescue and care for the
injured.
The victims were sent to a nearby hospital and to another hospital 35 kilometers
away, according to municipal management.
We offer our sincere condolences to the deceased
workers’ families, friends, and coworkers. We pray for a quick recovery for the
workers who suffered burns and injuries in the explosion. As we have sadly done
in the past with catastrophic explosions. We have offered our technical
assistance on finding the root cause. Why? Because the rumors and news reports
of “preliminary investigation results” are all incorrect. We have learned more every
day about this workplace and what had happened. We will update this post with
more information in the future. In the meantime we pray for the families of the
workers who were killed or injured.
