Incident at BASF site in Zhanjiang

On November 6, 2021, a subcontractor employee working at the construction site of BASF Zhanjiang Verbund site project fell from a height and was severely injured. The subcontractor employee was immediately sent to the nearby hospital for treatment, but unfortunately passed away on the same day. We are saddened by this accident. 

According to the investigation report published by the government on January 27, 2022, the deceased subcontractor employee had not put the safety belt hook to the safety rope during work which led to this tragic accident. 

At BASF, safety is our main priority. We have reviewed the relevant processes and implemented the necessary rectification measures by working closely with the contractual company. We are taking every measure to ensure continued safe practices.
