National COSH Calls for Accountability After Deadly Tennessee Explosion
Following the explosion that killed 16 workers at Accurate Energetic Systems in Bucksnort, Tennessee, the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health is demanding stronger oversight, worker protections, and full transparency in the investigation.
The National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH) expressed deep sorrow and outrage following the catastrophic explosion on October 10 at the Accurate Energetic Systems plant in Bucksnort, Tennessee. The blast killed 16 workers and destroyed the facility.
"This horrific tragedy is a stark reminder of what happens when worker safety takes a back seat to production and profit," said Jessica E. Martinez, executive director of National COSH. "Explosives manufacturing is inherently dangerous - yet every single one of these deaths was preventable if proper oversight, safety measures, and accountability were in place. No one should die for a paycheck."
National COSH demands accountability and stronger worker protections.
