10. December 3, 1984, 40 tonnes of a deadly toxic gas
called methyl isocyanate leaked from a pesticide plant
in Bhopal.
Twenty seven years later, the Supreme Court is all set
to pronounce its verdict on who is responsible.
The fatal gas leak claimed around 3,500 lives,
according to government estimates, while rights
activists have claimed that 25,000 people have died
so far.
In the trial of one of the world's most horrific
industrial disasters, a total of 178 prosecution
witnesses were examined and 3,008 documents were
produced, while eight defence witnesses deposed in
the court.
12. The Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health
(DISH) reports that between 2008 and 2010,
130 workers died in factory floor mishaps —
the rest presumably died on real estate plots,
under bridges and inside ditches.
13. At least three contractual workers were killed and two others
severely injured in two explosions at an Ankleshwar-based
chemical dye manufacturing unit
14. The explosions took place at Shivam
Chemicals and Alum, which
manufactures Zinc Sulphate.
The entire unit has been damaged in the
explosion
The Department of Gujarat Industrial
Safety and Health said that the accident
was caused by the presence of foreign
bodies in the manufacturing process.
15. 38 killed in Sivakasi cracker unit blast
The core issue here is the safety of factories and the factory
workers. The factory which was gutted in the accident flouted
all safety norms including the number of persons allowed to
work at one time.
17. There are 118 Major Accident Hazard (MAH)
factories in Tamil Nadu
19. There are 5 Chemical Industrial Belts in the State.
25. Factories Inspectors conduct a One day
Training Program on Industrial safety every
month for Plant Operators and Supervisors in
factories, as part of their field level activities.
Factories Inspectorate regularly conducts
Safety Seminars
