SINGAPORE: Eight people were taken to a hospital with burns on Wednesday (Feb 24), following what witnesses say was a "loud explosion" at an industrial building in Tuas.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it responded to a fire at 32E Tuas Avenue 11 at about 11.25am.
A unit in the building was "smoke-logged" and firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the unit to locate the fire. The fire involved an industrial mixer and was extinguished with two water jets, said SCDF.
Eight people who suffered burns were taken to Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
Patients who suffer smoke inhalation or serious burn injuries but are in a stable condition will be taken to SGH's specialised Burn Centre instead of the nearest hospital, SCDF said in a Facebook post.

Mr Frankie Goh, a logistics manager at Bauer located in the next building, said he heard a "very loud explosion" at about 11.20am, followed by two smaller ones.
Thinking the explosion was from his building, he called for his colleagues to evacuate, said Mr Goh, speaking to CNA outside his building.
He then ran out of his office and saw black smoke billowing from a gaping hole in the wall of the building next door. Several workers were running out of the building screaming.

Mr Goh said his colleague saw workers with burns on their backs and legs. One of them had his head bandaged.
He then called the SCDF to report the incident. Ten minutes later, fire engines and ambulances arrived on the scene, he said. At least three ambulances took people to the hospital.
According to Mr Goh, the building houses a migrant worker dormitory among other companies.
Photographs of the area showed smoke billowing from the building as well as multiple SCDF and police vehicles.
Videos of the incident seen by CNA showed several workers with burns and patches of skin missing from their arms, torso and back. Several of them had their clothing burned off and were seen with strips of cloth on their shoulders and legs.

When CNA visited the site at about 1pm, about 30 people were standing outside the affected building. About 15 of them appeared to be migrant workers.
An eyewitness who wanted to be known as Mr Tan said he works at a building a few blocks away from where the fire occurred. He could see the fire "just like (in) a movie", he told CNA.
According to Mr Tan, several workers came running over from another building after hearing the explosion, and tried to enter the site to help those inside.

A technician who wanted to be known as Mr Ng, 52, said he was working in the block next to where the explosion happened. He did not hear the explosion because he was wearing earplugs but was alerted by his colleagues to evacuate.
He saw the migrant workers running out of the building with burns, and spraying water on themselves.
Bangladeshi national Sohel, 31, was sleeping in a migrant worker dormitory in a unit on the third floor at the time of the explosion.
“I was sleeping, then suddenly the sound came,” he told CNA.

The explosion happened at a unit on the first floor, and the company located there manufactures insulation pipes, he added.
After hearing the noise, he woke up and ran outside, where he saw workers with burns on their legs and crying. According to Mr Sohel, the migrant workers working in that unit live in the dormitory above.
Ms Lai, who owns a company located next door at 32F, said the adjoining wall in her unit collapsed in the explosion.
“Luckily the first floor is a storage unit, nobody was there,” said the 60-year-old. Ms Lai said she did not know how much damage her unit had sustained.
SCDF said about 65 people in neighbouring units had cleared out of the building before firefighters arrived.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Tuas explosion: 3 workers die from injuries, 5 in critical condition
www.channelnewsasia.com
SINGAPORE: Three of the 10 workers who suffered burns in a fire at an industrial building in Tuas have died, said Commissioner for Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Silas Sng on Thursday (Feb 25).
Another five are in critical condition, while two workers have been discharged, added Mr Sng.
Preliminary investigations have found that the accident at 32E Tuas Avenue 11 was caused by "a combustible dust explosion", said Mr Sng, who is also director of the Manpower Ministry’s Occupational Safety and Health Division.
He added that the dust was in the form of potato starch powder, a material used for production by the company at the site, Stars Engrg.
Mr Sng explained that such dust can be generated when powder is transferred, such as from a bag into a mixer.
“Over time, the dust can accumulate in the environment, especially if the ventilation or the housekeeping is inadequate … And when the dust comes into contact with a source of a friction, an explosion will occur as we see in this accident.”
He urged companies working with similar combustible materials to review their safety measures to ensure that dust does not accumulate in an enclosed environment.
DECEASED WORKERS NOT YET IDENTIFIED
When asked by CNA if the families of the deceased workers have been informed, Mr Sng said the workers have not yet been identified.
"As we understand from the hospital, (their identities are) still in the process of being ascertained due to the extensive injuries that they have sustained.
"So I think in the interest of confidentiality ... once it is confirmed, then we will inform the families accordingly," said Mr Sng.
He added that the National Trades Union Congress and the Migrant Workers Centre have been in touch with other affected migrant workers and their companies "to render whatever assistance necessary to help them".
"VERY LOUD EXPLOSION"
The workers were taken to hospital with burns on Wednesday following what witnesses say was a "very loud explosion".
Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) firefighters who arrived at the scene extinguished the fire at Stars Engrg, where employees were working on an industrial mixer when the explosion occurred.
Eight workers suffered burns and were taken to Singapore General Hospital, said the Manpower Ministry. Another two workers from P3 Project, a company located opposite Stars Engrg, also suffered burns and were taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
Photographs of the area showed smoke billowing from the building as well as multiple SCDF and police vehicles.
Videos seen by CNA showed several workers with burns and patches of skin missing from their arms, torso and back. Several of them had their clothing burned off and were seen with strips of cloth on their shoulders and legs.
