The department chief Mr Sumet Mahosot said that the safety inspectors questioned officials concerned and conducted on-site investigation and come up with the conclusion that the company had committed three safety violations as specified in the safety law and regulations on working in airless area.

 

He said, firstly, CPF failed to notify its staff working in the wastewater treatment pond of the risks to life involved which may occur and also failed to provide working manuals to its staff.

Safety violations  ok, but will the owners be taken to court?

No just some junior managers will take the wrap.

No mention of portable gas detectors in CPF kit...BA equipment....what training have their safety staff had.....there's probably dozens of safety breaches in this company.....unfortunately, the local authorities more than likely, have no personnel with the required experience to monitor industry at a competent level.

Fatalities at industrial sites, due to similar reasons as happened at CP, will continue.
