As reported by Lao Dong Newspaper: The work accident that occurred at the HC Factory (specializing in chemical production in 20 Loc Thang village, Bao Lam 1 commune) killed 2 workers.
The deceased victims include: Nguyen Huu Tung (29 years old, residing in Bao Lam 1 commune) and Ha Duy Khanh (28 years old, residing in Ward 1 Bao Loc, Lam Dong).
According to initial information, on the morning of November 9, both workers conducted a technical inspection at the factory's HCL acid tank area.
When discovering that the acid tank had signs of leakage, these workers tightened the bulong. However, because the bulbs were leaking, the two workers took out cutting machines to work.
The cutter used the bulbs to create electrical fires and came into contact with the gas in the tank, causing the tank to explode, sending both workers away.
After the incident, the two victims were taken to Lam Dong General Hospital 2 (Bao Loc) but both died later.
