While between two steel claws used to compact rolls of steel wire, the machine activated and Bickramdass died at once...President of the Steel Workers Union of Trinidad and Tobago...called on the Labour Minister and the Occupational Health and Safety Agency to order an audit of the company, claiming that there were a series of accidents and near misses at the plant...ArcelorMittal has promised to investigate the incident and use the information to avoid a repeat.
