SEREMBAN, Jan 16 (Bernama) -- The Negeri Sembilan Department of Occupational Safety and Health (JKKP) will conduct further investigations to identify the cause of an incident involving the explosion of a leaking ammonia gas cylinder that occurred at the Seremban Toll Plaza exit heading north yesterday.
In a statement tonight, the Negeri Sembilan JKKP director’s office said legal action will be taken against parties found responsible should there be any violations under the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 and its related regulations.
“The department takes seriously every accident or occupational disease arising from any activity across all employment sectors.
