Do not forget Bhopal!

Every day, the people working in the chemical industry must realise that process safety is for the good of people - people inside the plant and people outside the plant. The horrors of the Bhopal Gas Disaster continue even today. We should not forget Bhopal. I think it will be a good practice for every chemical plant to organise a"Don't Forget Bhopal" day on December 2nd or 3rd every year and remind all managers of the things that went wrong at Bhopal and the lessons learnt from Bhopal..
