Worker dies from hot steam burns

JAKARTA (JP): An employee of a private steel company located in Pulogadung, East Jakarta, died on Thursday evening after three weeks of treatment for severe burns at the Cipto Mangunkusumo general hospital.

Syaifullah, 27, a worker at PT Pulogadung Steel, and his three co-workers were rushed to the state-owned hospital early last month after hot steam burned their unprotected bodies and faces, hospital sources said yesterday.

His three friends are no longer in a critical condition but are still being treated at the hospital. (bsr)
