A chemical gas poisoning incident occurred at the CPC Taoyuan Refinery this afternoon on July 5, 2024, when a 67-year-old worker surnamed Lai lost vital signs due to inhaling toxic gas while performing hydrogen sulfide pipeline sealing operation. Another worker surnamed Chen, aged 69, felt unwell and was sent to the hospital but was found unharmed upon examination. The incident is being investigated by the Ministry of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Despite the hydrogen sulfide reacting at the scene, the leak's scope was limited to a small area within the refinery, with no detection of hydrogen sulfide outside the plant, reassuring the public not to panic.
