Safety has to be foundation for a good business environment
A BLAST at the Handing Precision Metal Co in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, on Sunday morning killed seven people and wounded five. Beijing News comments:
Ten days ago, an explosion at a chemical plant in the same province razed an area of 2 square kilometers in an industrial park in Xiangshui claiming 78 lives. According to witnesses, both blasts were triggered in places where industrial waste was piled up. Both companies had bad work safety inspection records, and had been urged to plug the loopholes in their management of work safety-related issues when the two accidents happened.
Ironically, the Kunshan blast happened after the provincial authorities claimed they had drawn lessons from the Xiangshui incident, and vowed to prevent any more work safety accidents.
