The government says it has been tightening site inspections and toughening punishments for safety lapses. But while the number of workplace deaths in 2017 is reported to have fallen by more than 25% on 2016 - industrial fatalities still number at least 29,000 in the year to date. Police said on social media that an investigation was under way to determine the cause of the latest explosion.
