Apparently the plant was shutdown and vented to the emergency stack (which bypasses scrubber systems), when I was there at around 10:35 the gas cloud from emergency stack could clearly be seen leaving the Tiwest boundry.
One just can't help but wonder what authorities like worksafe will be saying this time? Is there a risk yet worksafe?
Update 1: Post modified to reflect; according to Kwinana Courier article worker was actually exposed to 'Titanium Dioxide' which Tiwest claim is non toxic, however as blogged here, Titanium Dioxide has been classified a IARC-2B carcinogen.
Update 2: Photo's taken after the incident of emissions Titatium Dioxide from Tiwest published:
The white cloud of Titanium Dioxide in the centre of pic (near crain jib) discharging from the the baghouse filters.I suppose the Kwinana Mayor thinks we are lucky being exposed to this?
