Chemical Board Points To Frayed Hose
WEST VIRGINIA....
Federal Chemical Safety Board investigators said late this week a chemical hose that leaked and fatally poisoned DuPont Belle plant worker, Carl "Danny" Fish, last Saturday showed signs of "fraying" and "wear." Lead CSB investigator Johnnie Banks says the "braided steel hose" will be a focus of his agency's investigation. A series of other frequent incidents in separate portions of the Belle plant, including a leak that went undetected for five days, raised concerns that helped prompt the CSB to launch its probe.
