Sasol, the petrochemicals group, was likely to face prosecution on 10 charges of culpable homicide after an explosion at its Secunda plant in 2004 in which 10 people died, a Cape Town labour law specialist said on Friday...The evidence...showed a failure on the part of the company to conduct a proper risk assessment and that: Sasol failed to identify hazards associated with a high-pressure gas pipeline running through the plant...in the presence of hundreds of people and numerous machines...there had never been a risk assessment...it did not take any measures to warn people about it...or take precautions...Sasol's spokesperson, said it was irresponsible to prejudge the outcome of the hearing and Sasol awaited the presiding officer's report...[also mentioned: Du Pont Safety Resources]
