Gas leak proves fatal at Samsung chip plant in Korea

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto;" /> <div class="copy post-body" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gas leaks proves fatal at Samsung chip plant in Korea" data-src-height="408" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/samsung-chip-plant.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> A maintenance contractor called out to fix a hydrofluoric acid leak at a Samsung plant has died in hospital, according to Korean media. Four others were injured by the lethal gas but have reportedly been discharged. The factory in question is located within South Korea, which isn't known for the sort of lax safety standards that plague workers in China, but <em>AsiaE</em> reports that the accident will nevertheless be investigated to find out if any laws were breached in the way the leak was handled, and if the killed contractor was wearing the right protective gear. For the sake of context, it's worth remembering that even state-of-the-art installations can be prone to accidents -- in 2011, for example, seven American workers were injured in an explosion at Intel's semiconductor fab in Arizona.</div></div></div>
