New Emergency Safety Guidelines in Wake of Sugar Plant Explosion

Stricter safety guidelines are now in place for facilities like the Imperial Sugar Plant. Today, Insurance and Safety Fire commissioner John Oxendine announced new emergency safety regulations which go into effect immediately.

Oxendine says all industries in Georgia will now operate under the latest National Fire Prevention Association guidelines, which he says are more current than OSHA's existing rules.

Emergency plans will be a must, plus better maintenance, more employee training and safety officers will now report to the state on a monthly basis. Oxendine hopes this all prevents what happened February 7 at the Port Wentworth plant from happening again.
