What the release reports
The inquiry into the February 2021 Stars Engrg explosion found unsafe mixer operation and ignored warning signs; three workers died and seven others were injured.
Details and conditions
Excess pressure ruptured the mixer’s oil jacket, while accumulated powders caused secondary fires. The report identified potential criminal liability and was referred to the Public Prosecutor; this was not a sentencing announcement.
Context and follow-up
Accepted recommendations include equipment safety certification, wider upstream duties, combustible-dust labels and notifications, and targeted SME and worker guidance. The source links the inquiry report and annex; later enforcement and rules are separate developments.
