PUB workers lacked protective gear during fatal toxic gas incident

An investigator examining the fatal incident at a PUB facility has determined that workers who died from inhaling toxic gas were not wearing the required respirator masks at the time of exposure. The findings point to multiple breaches of established safety procedures at the workplace. Beyond the absence of protective respiratory equipment, the probe uncovered several other critical safety lapses, notably insufficient ventilation in the area where the workers were exposed to the hazardous gas. The combination of these oversights created conditions that proved fatal for those involved. Authorities are expected to use the investigation's conclusions to review safety protocols and prevent similar incidents at other facilities under PUB's operations.
