(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-12-30 09:44 BEIJING -- China's State Administration of Work Safety said on Monday that the country's metallurgical industry should draw a lesson from the recent gas leak accident at Ganglu Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and step up work safety inspection. A blast furnace gas leak took place on December 24 at the company in Zunhua City of northern Hebei Province, about 150 kilometers east of the capital Beijing. A total of 44 people were working around the blast furnace at the time of the leak. The death toll has risen to 17, with another 27 injured.
The administration urged local work safety agencies to step up safety check for those metallurgical companies where outdated equipment is still in operation. The Ganglu company, founded in May 2001, has about 7,000 employees. It has an annual output of 3 million tonnes of steel products. |
