On September 3, 1991, an industrial fire caused by an improvised repair to a hydraulic line destroyed the Imperial Food Products chicken processing plant in Hamlet, North Carolina. Despite three previous fires in 11 years of operation, the plant had never received a safety inspection. The fire killed 25 people and injured 54, many of whom were unable to escape due to locked exits. It was the second deadliest industrial disaster in North Carolina's history.

  • O Incêndio da fábrica de processamento Hamlet foi um desastre industrial que ocorreu na fábrica de tratamento de frango da Imperial Foods, em , Carolina do Norte, EUA em 3 setembro de 1991 após uma falha em uma modificação defeituosa para uma linha hidráulica. Vinte e cinco pessoas morreram e 54 ficaram feridas por estarem presas atrás de portas anti fogo fechadas. Devido a falta de inspetores, a fábrica não era inspecionada em 11 anos de operação, e é pensado que o incêndio poderia ter sido evitado por uma única inspeção. (pt)
  • 1991年9月3日,美國北卡罗来纳州里士满县帝国食品鸡肉加工厂因液压管路故障引发,出口封闭令工人无处逃生,造成25人丧生,54人受伤,是北卡罗来纳州史上伤亡人数第二多的工业灾难。工厂此前11年已发生三起火灾,却从未经受安全检查。 帝国食品业主埃米特·罗伊1980年买下位于哈姆雷特的设施加工鸡肉产品,企业旗下其他工厂在安全规范领域名声不佳,哈姆雷特鸡肉加工厂既无,连自動灑水系統都不能正常运作。1991年夏,罗伊在没有知会绝大多数工人的情况下命令锁上工厂几道外门,其中包括标注消防通道的门。他的动机尚无定论,但无疑违反联邦安全管理条例。同年九月,维修人员用临时装备更换泄露液压管路,用于连接把鸡肉运到加工室油炸机的输送带。9月3日上午八点一刻左右,修理工更换线路后打开传送带,但软管从连接处脱离,向屋内喷出液压油。液体汽化并由炸锅火焰点燃,几分钟就吞噬全厂并切断电话线,厂内到处是碳氢化合物烟雾和一氧化碳。 鸡肉加工厂永久关闭,北卡罗来纳州对违反安全规章的帝国食品处以80万8150美元罚款,创下该州罚款纪录,企业旋即宣告破产。侥幸逃生的工人身心健康长期受到影响,如呼吸系统疾病、肌肉损伤、認知缺陷。埃米特承认犯下25起过失杀人罪,法官判决近20年有期徒刑,他服刑约四年后假释。北卡罗来纳州议会新通过吹哨人保护等14项工人安全法,州督察团从60人升至114人。 (zh)
