Corus blast survivor wins payout [UK]

A man who suffered 43% burns in a steel blast furnace explosion which killed three other workers has won an undisclosed six-figure payout. Peter Clement, 54, was one of 12 men injured in the blast at the Port Talbot steelworks in November 2001 [3 men died]...Corus has admitted failing to ensure workers' and contractors' safety as well as civil liability for the blast. In December last year a High Court judge ordered the firm to pay more than £3m for the breaches of health and safety laws.
