Welding Mishap at Boat Basin Station House

At Boat Basin Station House, a welding mishap led to a dangerous explosion. The Station House Officer (SHO), Naseer Tanoli, revealed that a group of workers were carrying out welding activities beneath an oil tanker. Despite the absence of oil in the tanker, there were residual gases present. These gases ignited due to sparks during the welding process, resulting in a sudden explosion, as confirmed by Hassaan Khan, a Rescue 1122 official.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety precautions when dealing with potentially hazardous materials. Welding near any container that previously held flammable substances can pose serious risks, even if the container appears empty. It is crucial for workers to be vigilant and follow strict safety protocols to prevent such accidents.

Ensuring safety in all industrial activities is paramount to avoid tragic incidents like the one at Boat Basin Station House. By prioritizing safety measures and providing adequate training to workers, similar accidents can be prevented in the future. Let this incident serve as a lesson for all industries to prioritize safety above all else.
