The Daily Guide reported that 11 workers of Special Steel Limited, an Indian owned steel manufacturing company based in Tema sustained various degrees of injury in what some of the victims termed as an explosion.

Two of the victims are currently receiving treatment at the Narh-Bita Hospital in Tema where they were rushed to shortly after the explosion.

Another victim was later referred to the Tema General Hospital after it was detected that medics at the initial health facility could not treat him.

8 workers of the company, who reportedly sustained minor injuries in the explosion, were said to have been treated at the emergency unit of Narh-Bita hospital and discharged based on the recommendation of medics at the hospital.

The victims, according to a source at the factory, were part of a 'night shift' that had arrived at the factory around 6:00PM on Thursday.

According to sources, they worked for close to about three and half hours before the incident.

Narrating the incident to DAILY GUIDE , a worker, who pleaded anonymity, remarked that the explosion took place at the furnace department of Special Steel around 8:30 pm and criticized the Indian supervisor at that department for refusing to heed the advice of the workers.

The source alleged that the workers were working without protective gears, stressing that the incident could have been averted.
