Last Thursday, in the Bin Qasim area of Karachi, Pakistan, four workers died after falling into an underground chemical tank of an industrial unit. A maintenance worker who was repairing the tank fell in first, and then four others became trapped as they tried to rescue him. Only one survived. Such deaths point to the almost complete lack of health and safety standards for workers in Pakistan. These industrial deaths are unfortunately very similar to another tragedy last year at the Korangi factory where five workers were killed.
