Ammonia tragedy: CEA suspends factory operations

We do postmortems always. Standards and safety are never concerned in our country. This should be taught at school levels onward. When the tourists are attacked, it is inquired and found many Hotels do not possess even basic license to operate. When a worker dies in a factory, standards and safety are checked. Brains are given to check and specify safety and standards in advance. This is called " learning by mistakes " and for this we do not need a brain. Go on Sri Lanka......Go on Government.....

closing down the factory is no solution. It would only lead to loss in production and income.What went wrong is the necessary protection. The Cm admits as to public complain and PHI admits as to repeated instruction. Therefore the CM and the PHI are equally liable for negligence. It seems that they have been oiled instead of implementing the precautions. As usual when things go wrong they make noises. Public tax money is wasted as well.in maintaining these unnecessary posts if they cannot be held liable..

This incident occurred due to unawareness of Confined Space entry. Prior to do such activities foreman or supervisor must ensure that the Oxygen level of the trench or ditch is capable enough between 19.5% to 23%. The person who entered in to above must use a life line and the watchman must be standby to take the person incase of emergency. While watching this video it sounds very clear that No Safety at all. Employee must ensure that your safety in your hand and the employer must ensure to reduce risk with zero tolerance to follow safety procedures and prepare Job Safety Analysis.

It is high time for govt. to start a new Safety Authority or at least change present CEA to become Central Environmental and Safety Authority. It is not present CEA's job and they are not qualified enough to monitor Occupational Safety Issues.
