Truck Spills Nitric Acid Near Bangkok

[carra]

No.. different accident. The fatality was an accident with a truck carrying bulk dangerous goods, not just a few pails.

Far more serious than the one in this thread

Apparently they couldn't determine the sex of the motorcycle rider due to acid burns

Not a nice death

They will "organize" a truck accident drill so they know how to clean up. Those Thais. Boy oh boy!! They know accidentally what to work on. After the accident, work on clean up drills. Don't worry about preventive safety and security and truck regulations and inspections so as to "prevent" the accidents. Boy oh boy these Thais - they sure have nailed it! These Thais, they are something else.

Just one of about 50 or so reports of training exercises in the UK

So why knock the Thai's????

They are beng sensible, since we all know such incidents will occur in the future.

In the UK in 1990 a fully laden petrol tanker ploughed into a support pillar at Spaghetti Junction, caught fire, and caused the main access road into the City of Birmingham to be closed because concrete had melted.

Hazmat accidents happen everywhere so take off your blinkers and look at the world outside your private one.

Thee is a difference with an Accident as in, The driver has a heart attack , to just Driver negligence failing to do your vehicle checks before each working day, they are now putting British drivers in jail for failing to show vehicle checks on there tachographs, How many Thais have go to jail for negligence,

Nobody has asked the question yet...was the pick-up licensed to carry four tons of cargo?

Let me ask you a question. Have you been in Thailand long?

[Songhua]

Fortunately it was only acid, and not a truck-load of cobras.

Can you imagine what this stuff could have done to people! It would be a terrible way to go.

[Thai at Heart]

Can you imagine what this stuff could have done to people! It would be a terrible way to go.

Can you imagine how much it costs to pay a driver 300 baht a day, do maintenance, price PPE, spill kits. Sheesh, how can a company make 50% margin on a job if we had to pay for all of that stuff?

And now they expect my company to pay tax?
