Degassing left CO_2 death trap

摘要

A BIRMINGHAM automotive supplier has been fined 28,000 pounds after an electrician was exposed to potentially fatal levels of toxic carbon dioxide (CO_2) in a confined basement while helping decommission a plant. Denso Manufacturing Midlands was downsizing its business and had sold the site, but had not planned a safe system of work or assessed the risks involved in decommissioning the factory, which had made starter motors and alternators.
