Bhopal Tragedy, The Worst Ever Corporate Crime - A Few Hard Facts

No doubt the biggest tragedy in Bhopal industrial disaster of the 20th century. The callousness and multinational, Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) is shown by the negligence of the highest level of appearance. This tragic accident Tales, December 2, 1984, and the effects are unknown to us was not around at night. Mother’s media reports on the problems of the victims time to time thanks to deny justice to the poisonous gas methyl ISO-cyanate (MIC) long-lasting effects, both central and state government is mishandling the case of controversial rulings by the judiciary, etc. In addition, articles, and the destruction of involvement with the seminal research work has dealt with this complex issue. But then, we have chosen this topic for the newsletter on this topic, why?
The answer is simple. The clamor of thousands of people in Bhopal for justice; a picture of the disabled, handicapped children, and that there is a drawback to this beautiful world is ailing. It is inspired by one of the pale faces, and it spontaneously the next generation of Bhopal victims as seen from the birth of children are not the helpless. Wrongs committed by others against the conscience of that increase. In this newsletter, we have not repeated what was in the past.The objective of our esteemed readers to help the world’s worst industrial disasters How to recapture our elected representatives by the act.
‘Let them eat pollution’
Until 1979, Union Carbide India (UCIL) Ltd., the MIC imported from the USA Collected used. In 1979, the federal government of the USA Collected MIC production banned in USA Collected. What may be options for the UCC? Whether it was by Bayer as an intermediate or free routes through the MIC using the MIC-based pesticides Carbaryl (brand name ‘SEVIN’ under sold) produces. Production costs are way lower than MIC MIC-free way. A clear alternative to the UCC in UCIL Bhopal factory was the MIC production. Once the cue from the UCC this comment to Lawrence Summer, a former chief economist of the World Bank that they eat the pollution created by the developing countries. UCC MIC Indians know how to eat.
Inattention and process parameters on the basis of some warnings ignored?
The tragic events the UCIL many of its employees, engineers and technicians that the MIC-related accidents in the factory at any time for violating the norms of the process parameters can not be followed by the advance warnings given. The fact that the carbaryl-based pesticides in the world due to reduced demand, UCIL began declining as a result of reduced turnover in the profit margin. UCIL various self-opinionated and self-centered, cost cutting measures’ implementation, namely, to reduce the size of the supervisory staffs and skilled workers, regular repair and maintenance cost reduction, quality control measures, diluting, etc. The result of the loosening of security measures the deviation from the proper safety rules, valves and pipe deterioration in line quality, safety systems are malfunctioning, non – stainless steel pipe line, and above all the corrosion, reduced employee morale. Despite the lack of demand, production management MIC with the MIC as the piling up of stock continues. UCIL’s safety standards, diluting the existing MIC storage tank to store a large volume is stored in the MIC. MIC should be stored in steel drums are generally small. UCIL is a large lake on the alarm system was not the disaster that is stored in the MIC.were designed to inhibit the system is idle; MIC 4.50C room temperature instead of the store was identified in the manual. These technical errors, unproven and unsafe UCIL security measures and consent processes were encouraged by the management. Management of these errors was the fact that the UCIL management of many accidents before approaching a fatal accident will be evident from the signal was given any weightage. A few of them: In 1976, two plants within the trade unions opposed to the level of pollution increases; in 1981, a worker was splashed with phosgene gas, and since his death 72 hours later; January 1982, there were 24 workers to the hospital phosgene leak were introduced to the effect; wearing protective masks was not mandatory; February 1982, an MIC leak affected 18 workers; August 1982, a chemical engineer with liquid MIC results were burns on 30% of his body; September 1982, Prince Keshwani , a local weekly Bhopal journalist ‘Rajpat’ wrote in the destruction of prophetic warnings, but they are not given any thought had in October 1982, there is a leak in the MIC, carbaryl methyl chloride, and chloroform, and hydrochloric acid. To try to prevent leakage, MIC supervisor suffered extensive chemical burns and the other two workers were exposed to a severe gas; 1983 and 1984, the MIC, chlorine, monomethylamine, phosgene and carbon tetrachloride were regular seepage. UCIL reports issued within a few months ago scientists warned that the event of a serious accident, but it was ignored. American experts who visited the plant in 1981 during a “runaway reaction” warned of the possibility of UCC; local Indian authorities since 1979, the company warned of problems, but the UCC does not care; UCC’s own investigation report acknowledged that most of the safety systems were in an accident December 2, midnight, at the time was in 1984.
