Explained in plain English

What is an industrial accident?

An industrial accident is an unplanned event that occurs in an industrial setting, often involving machinery, hazardous materials, or infrastructure. These can lead to explosions, fires, or chemical leaks. In Dubai, an industrial accident at a gas storage facility is one suggested cause for the loud bangs and smoke, which would be a serious safety incident.
