In a previous toxic archive, I looked at how this industrial polluter used language and the media to deceive the public. In January 1974, a significant chorine leak on site had required several staff to receive hospital treatment after being affected by fumes.
So surprise surprise, just three months later and the other major hazardous chemical that these bastards dealt with, our old friend P4 made the news again.
The 11th April 1974 Wolverhampton Express and Star reported how a leak of the poisonous devil’s element had once again created major panic in Oldbury.
“Remember, phosphorus allows no second chances” LOL
How tankers delivered white phosphorus into the works.
Albright and Wilson’s reaction typical, play it down, praise their staff, then later blame it on those staff as “human error”. The hubris of managers, shite procedures and abysmal health and safety played out once again in a residential area where they claimed to be “good neighbours”. 😀
This latest article now fits into the hall of shame of this Quaker company from hell.
