Visakhapatnam: A ladle carrying molten steel spilled onto the ground after its gate failed to close properly at the SMS-1 CCD department of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) on Tuesday. No injuries were reported in the incident.
The incident comes months after a major industrial accident at the SSM-1 of the VSP on June 8, 2026, in which several workers were killed and others injured.
The incident triggered a safety scare among workers at the plant. The molten metal spread over the area, prompting personnel to move away from the spot and take necessary safety measures.
Fortunately, no workers were injured in the incident. The extent of damage to equipment and the quantity of molten steel that spilled are yet to be ascertained.
Further details are awaited.
