Subject: Safety incident happened in IISc

Dear safety team,

Good morning.

I would like to share a very recent safety incident that happened yesterday in my previous institute, Indian Institute of Science (IISc). We are striving for strict safety adherence to our institutes. This incident shows how important is safety for a workplace.

A gas cylinder is blasted with a huge sound! The accident happened while creating a shockwave as a part of an ongoing research project. One person was dead instantaneously and 3 are critically injured. The four were employees of Super-Wave Technology Pvt Ltd (SWTPL), an IISc-incubated startup headed by senior scientists at the department of aerospace engineering, IISc. More details are under investigation.
