TEPCO’s secrecy on worker injuries at Fukushima

TEPCO Not Disclosing Worker Injuries At Fukushima Daiichi SimplyInfo  December 25th, 2014

Journalist Ryuichi Kino has documents a large number of injuries to workers in 2014 that TEPCO has not made public. The information was submitted to the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy. TEPCO’s excuse seemed to be, if the workers didn’t require an outside ambulance ride or helicopter, they were not going to disclose the injury. But some of these injuries were quite serious. Eighteen required repair of broken bones or sutures. There were also 32 cases of heat stroke, this can be quite serious and was the cause or contributor to the death of a number of workers in the first year of the disaster……..http://www.fukuleaks.org/web/?p=14246

  1. How disgraceful when I prepare a comment on the website that when I send it, it’s timed out, and there’s not even a copy of what I prepared to paste into a new window. Just how irresponsible can these people be? As irresponsible as, seemingly, the TEPCO mgt are about looking after the health of their workers.

    Don’t blame me if the system doesn’t work properly. That’s the IT specialists responsibility to see that it does work properly.
