Big Step for Thailand

If so you must have done Risk assessments https://www.hse.gov.uk/simple-health-safety/risk/steps-needed-to-manage-risk.htm#_Control_the_risks

all possible, Forensic will need to check the battery the school should have done a risk assessment they did identify the hazard but no action was taken to resolve the hazard

The school should have done a risk assessment each school as far as i know have a OHS officer and that is part of there duty's And the school Should not have assumed anything there, assumption lead to these kids death the buses Tender for the job all the risk assessment and paper work should have been checked then https://www.hse.gov.uk/simple-health-safety/risk/steps-needed-to-manage-risk.htm#_Control_the_risks

total agree The policing in Thailand needs to be Improved getting bad press about corruption does not help over the years i have met some great police and call them my friend would do any to help and they have but the expats on here do not help but you are right Thailand badly needs police reform

Not assumption Fact there are lots of EV fire regarding battery's read the news

Thailand's gradual introduction over the past 15 years of regulations for bus safety laid out by the UNECE, the UN Economic Commission for Europe, a body responsible for establishing international standards in many areas. But application of these rules have been slow and piecemeal. “The problem is most of the manufacturers in Thailand cannot reach that standard,” says Sumet Ongkittikul, a transport specialist at the Thailand Development Research Institute. “So the implementation has been delayed, to allow them to catch up. “Also, the regulations only apply to new buses. But most of the buses operating in Thailand are old." Modifying old bus chassis with new bodywork is a local industry, where safety standards are for the most part far behind those in many other countries. UNECE regulation UN R118, which requires bus interiors to be made with non-flammable materials, was officially introduced in Thailand in 2022, but does not apply to buses made before then, or buses adapted using older chassis.

Lets get some facts in regard to Natural gas If you worked in the oil and gas industry you should know this Natural gas as any gas, petrol, need to mixed with oxygen before it ignites Natural gas is harder to ignite that petrol Natural gas will not ignite if it flows onto a hot surface petrol will If there is a leak natural gas will not ignite with out an ignition source Petrol will ignite without a an ignition source if it get hot. if a gas system is maintained correctly there is no problem and I don't think the world is going to stop using Gas power vehicle soon

because you live in Thailand is no proof that All DTL inspectors are corrupt

Gas Vehicles are world wide the system is well documented as Safe as long it is maintained correctly

read the posts

Yes tend to agree but its a start on an education in Safety

And you have hit the head of the nail "but no one took the initiative to stop doing it. " No risk management by the school Identified the Hazard but no action

Now that is a Tall order lots of overtime would you not think they would do this in stages Thai logic !!

Why do you Assume all DLT inspectors are corrupt you have proof !! if not don't post

As it already been pointed out correctly it was NOT a EV

This is an International standard so Inspectors world wide do the same They are using gas detectors which are very sensitive so if they don't pick up anything it is safe to say it is leak tight

yes very intense Fire !!! these are old busses not fitted with fire retention seats Plus all the window crap they have in there

Yes the Inspection would included the gas System But it is a Visual Inspection NOT mechanical Inspection

I don't know where you get Mechanical inspection from all i read is Inspection, The Standard for Gas Inspection of Gas powered vehicle is VISUAL There are doing More than the standard by using Gas detectors, they are also visually inspecting the safety gear onboard

"Speculation" is more considering several theories or possibilities without having made an absolute decision, whereas "assumption" is more definite and usually based on guesses and information you don't really know enough about to make a informed decision. When we speculate we generally consider. When we assume, we make decisions about what we think happened, or what we think we know. For that reason, assumptions can be quite negative in nature, whereas speculation is more thoughtful. Any how the point is YOU do not know Cash flow Problems, need insurance money

Yep my mistake

This is going to be the Next big thing, plenty of EV are catching fire because of Li-ion batterys

Why post assumptions !!! You do not know About Insurance money !!
