In a horrifying industrial incident, Dhirendra Verma and Dilip Kumar Verma, were killed when the crushing mill they were inspecting started functioning again. Three other workers who were also inside managed to escape with only minor injuries. For workers at this company, Ambuja Cement, located in Chhattisgarh’s Balodabazar district, central India, this is unfortunately not an isolated incident. Four years ago a number of workers were killed when a container fell on them. Deaths like these highlight the importance of Occupational Health and Safety measures and of independent trade unions.
