(Source: Yahoo News / Channel NewsAsia - Saturday, February 28)
SINGAPORE : Five workers suffered chemical burns when a chemical spill took place at their worksite in Tuas on Friday.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force was alerted to the incident when yellow fumes were seen coming from the first level of the building. The workers were conducting equipment maintenance works when the incident took place.
The Civil Defence Hazardous Materials team de—contaminated the workers before they were sent to the National University Hospital for treatment. The workplace was then cleared of the fumes using absorbents and water.
