Worker at Solikamsk Magnesium Plant suffers leg burns from molten metal, 10 March 2025
This incident follows a previous inspection at the plant last year, which was prompted by an accident in which a titanium sponge separator was pinned against a protective barrier by a container. The investigation at that time revealed violations of the technological process, lack of oversight during operations, and the absence of safety vests among workers.
