Accidentoccurredon 26thApril2015. o Federation is constrained to note that on 26tn April 2015 yet another unfortunateaccidenttook placein the Rail Wheel Plant,Bela causinginjuriesto five employeesand a supervisor.Out of thosesix persons,three were seriouslyinjured. In the plant this accidenthas occurreddue to self running of the machine and non-working of Exhaust Valve. The repetitionof accidentshascreatedfear in the minds of employeesworking in the plant as sufficient safety measuresare not being ensured by the RWp administration. Federation is enclosing copies of three photographs of injured employeeswho had suffered seriousinjuries by way of attack of hot melted iron at 1600 degree.This is very seriousand calls for detailedexplanationby the authorities in RWP besidesthe stepstakento avoid recurrenceof theseaccidents.
