Four workers remained hospitalised yesterday and residents were left shaken and traumatised following Thursday’s powerful explosion at Ramco Industries Ltd’s San Fernando facility. Now, residents are calling for an emergency evacuation plan to prevent a repeat of what they described as a frightening ordeal.
Police said two of the injured workers are being treated in the High Dependency and Intensive Care Units at the San Fernando General Hospital, while the other two underwent surgery. All sustained first-degree burns to 15 to 25 per cent of their bodies.
The explosion occurred around 7 pm at one of the facility’s loading bays at Cross Crossing. According to Ramco, the blaze was “swiftly contained thanks to the prompt and coordinated efforts of the emergency services.”
