JPS explosion probe to be discussed by Cabinet

Cabinet will on Monday discuss the findings of the probe into last September's deadly explosion at the Jamaica Public Service Company’s Old Harbour Plant.

That is the word from Labour Minister Derrick Kellier.

Mr. Kellier told RJR News that shortly after Cabinet reviews the report and decides on what action to take a public statement will be made.

On September 10 last year, 41-year-old Owen Townsend, 34-year-old Woodford Brown and 72-year-old Arthur Williams died in what has been described as an industrial accident on the compound.

The men died after reportedly inhaling a toxic substance while working to clear debris in a pit at the rear of the plant.

Two other men, Lenford Campbell and Darren Williams, had attempted to save their colleagues but were overpowered by the fumes and were taken to hospital, treated and released.

Re: JPS explosion probe to be discussed by Cabinet

Just going through the motions. They know the industrial safety regulations are outdated (1962) and wont have much to bear on the case. Nothing much is going to come out of it(IMO). The only person who is legally liable was killed.
