The
importance of wearing proper safety clothing is highlighted in this tragedy
from May 2023.
An explosion occurred during work at an aluminum recycling plant in (location

According to (local police) on the (one afternoon
in May 2023), at around 5:13 pm, an explosion suddenly occurred while two
people, including one worker, in his 60s, were melting aluminum at an aluminum
recycling plant in (location omitted).
The 60 year old worker suffered full-body burns in
this accident and was treated at the hospital, but died on the two days later..
Mr. B, in his 60s, who was working with him,
suffered injuries to his face and is being treated at the hospital.
We
offer our sincere condolences to the deceased worker’s family, friends, and
coworkers. We are at a loss of words to understand why the workers were not
wear proper safety clothing. We can make the assumption that the workers were
not wearing proper clothing because if they were the injuries would have been
greatly minimized. Fire resistant and aluminized fabric should be worn by workers handling molten metal.
There
are numerous publications focused on proper safety clothing when handling molten
metal here.
