ALANG Alang in Gujarat, one time the world’s largest shipbreaking yard

Massive ships as well as offshore structures broken here

SHIP BREAKING INVOLVES HANDLING SUCH TOXIC, HEALTH HAZARD MATERIALS AND DISPOSING

THE OPERATIONS ARE CHALLENGING, WITH ATTENDANT RISKS TO MIGRANT LABOURERS,

DANGEROUS WORKING CONDITIONS, COMPROMISE ON SAFE PROCEDURES, RISKS OF ACCIDENTS WITH FIRES AND FALLS

The flip side – ship breaking gives high quality High value ancillary equipments, steels

The hazards of hot working, gas explosions…

The risks of dismantling in high levels, danger of falling heavy pieces

An example of high value non-ferrous and other materials Available for re-use or recycling

BHOPAL GAS TRAGEDY  December 2,1984  Water & MIC – high pressure temperature  Refrigerator system – not maintained  Alarm system- not properly set  Flare system-to burn escaping MIC to reduce toxic discharge did not function.  Scrubber & Flare system –not adequate
