Operations at the Guyana National Industrial Company Incorporated (GNIC) wharf at Lombard Street, Georgetown, resumed on Thursday after a one-day suspension following a chemical spill.
Ramgobin Ramkissoon, head of the GNIC’s Special Projects Unit, told Stabroek News that the operations resumed on Thursday after they received the relevant clearance from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
On Wednesday morning, there was spillage of the non-toxic chemical “Rheduce” in and around the GNIC compound. This resulted in the EPA, Civil Defence Commission (CDC), Guyana Fire Service (GFS) and Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) responding to conduct a risk assessment.
