Yonhap News : Samsung to face $1,000 fine over deadly gas leakage



A shocking news came from  Yonhap News reporting that Samsung will have to suffer from a fine of $1,000 for not reporting about its recent gas leak  quickly enough.The incident which took place at one of the Samsung's semiconductor plants  led to the death of maintenance contractor who was brought for fixing a leakage of pipe containing hydrofluoric acid. Samsung along with its subcontractor will be fined  for violating the law stipulating that such chemical leaks must be quickly reported to the higher authorities.but no official alert was provided until the contractor died in the hospital.Police are still investigating the cause of the accident and they will present their report within two weeks.But it is clear that a huge company like Samsung has a poor administration which led to the death of  contractor.
