Rosa firefighters free man trapped by machinery (firefighters rescued a
man, 29, whose hand was trapped in machinery in an industrial accident –
emergency crews found the employee with his left hand trapped in a large
industrial hydraulic press used to manufacture components for the oil
industry – responders used rescue tools to release pressure from the hydraulic
press and free the man{apos}s hand – he suffered significant injuries from being
crushed as well as third-degree burns to his hand and forearms caused by the
heat the machine generates under pressure – he was taken to a Hospital for
initial treatment and transferred to a burn center due to the severity of his
injuries – a co-worker was taken to a Hospital for minor burns he sustained
when he attempted to help the trapped man before the arrival of emergency
crews)
Japan{apos}s tsunami-hit nuclear plant dies (a man died on his second day of
work at Japan{apos}s tsunami-wrecked nuclear power plant – the plant operator said
harmful levels of radiation were not detected in his body – the contract
worker in his 60s was the first person to die at the Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear plant since March 11, when an earthquake and tsunami damaged the
facility and caused fires, explosions and radiation leaks in the world{apos}s
second-worst nuclear accident – the worker was carrying equipment when he
collapsed and died later in a hospital – the company does not know the cause
of his death – he had been wearing a radiation protection suit, mask and
gloves while working at the plant{apos}s waste disposal building, which stores
radioactive-contaminated water that has leaked from the tsunami-crippled
reactors – he had no apparent injuries and a second worker nearby had no ill
health effects)

had been operating a pedestal grinder when the wheel "exploded" and
critically injured him – employees at the plant say there was no explosion,
but rather a piece of the machinery came loose and struck him – the worker
was taken to hospital with serious injuries but died a short time later – he
is estimated to be around 50 years old)

were unconscious; one still hanging from the pulling unit)
25, suffers burns in industrial accident (a man was lucky to only suffer
scalding burns in an industrial accident – he passed out when he was overcome
by fumes as he cleaned a piece of factory equipment with hot water – he was
discovered on a platform by work mates who went looking for him at break time
– the man had suffered partial thickness burns to his face, arms and hand,

were struck by a flying wheel in a freak accident – they were removing the
massive wheel from the back of a crane truck in a container yard when a
pressurized brake drum exploded, sending the wheel hurtling into them – the
force was so great the two were thrown three meters – the wheel punctured the

of the workers had collapsed on site and both of them were taken by ambulance
to the hospital where there were concerns over exposure to hazardous
chemicals – the incident was on the PVC compounding plant whereby on starting
up a process, two employees came into contact with PVC compound – as a
precaution, both individuals were taken to the local hospital for examination
and are awaiting treatment for eye irritation)
EXPLOSION mso-bidi-font-weight:bold{apos}>
blast could have been caused by lingering flammable vapours
(investigations into the shipyard blast which killed two men, has revealed
that four tanks ruptured on a barge during works to lengthen the vessel –
flammable vapours were present in the barge tanks after the blast and the
possibility of a flash fire in the damaged tanks resulting in the blast could
not be ruled out – the presence of flammable vapours is believed to have been
due to paint vapours from spray painting works that had been carried out
three days before the accident – further investigations will be carried out
to confirm whether hot works were being carried out and if the flammable
vapours in the tanks had fuelled a flash fire, leading to the blast – the
blast which was reported just before 1.30pm ripped apart the front of the
barge, and caused wall panels of a workshop situated about five metres from
the barge to fall off – some 10 workers were in the workshop when the blast
occurred and some of them sustained light scratches – a worker, 43, who was
working on top of the barge at the time of the accident, was thrown off the
vessel by the blast – the other victim, 20, was near the barge when the
accident occurred)

open a garage door for the other workers – both were exposed to fumes on the
lower level believed to have come from air-conditioning units – one
collapsed, but the brother was able to escape – three workers tried to rescue
him but were overcome by the fumes – the company was in the early stages of
removing the cooling units, which were still pressurized – several valves on
the units had been opened, allowing gases such as Freon to escape)

percent of his body and was undergoing treatment in the burn unit – officials
