"Cause of Explosion"

According to Dedy, the No. 41 smelter furnace, which caught fire, was initially still closed for maintenance operations.

"When the furnace was not in operation and in the process of repair, there was a remaining slag or dross that came out of the furnace, then came into contact with easily flammable items at the location. The furnace wall then collapsed and the remaining iron dross flowed out, causing a fire. As a result, the workers at the location suffered injuries and fatalities. "The results of the accident investigation also confirm that there was no oxygen cylinder explosion as previously reported," said Dedy."

After the nickel smelter incident, the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) immediately deployed a special team to handle work accidents.
