Three contract workers perished on Monday at a Tata Electronics factory in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India, according to Reuters. The site manufactures components for Apple's iPhone. The workers were engaged in maintenance at a wastewater treatment plant when they inhaled gas while examining a nano-filtration tank. The facility is operated by Nalco Water, with the workers employed by a subcontractor.
Apple, Tata Electronics, and state authorities are set to investigate the incident, with Apple sending a team to aid in the investigation. Notably, Apple has not experienced any impact on iPhone production as the facility was closed for Diwali. This tragic event echoes a 2024 fire at the same location in a chemical storage area, which led to production delays for several days.
Moreover, Tata Electronics faced a cyberattack earlier this year, with hackers breaching their systems and exfiltrating confidential Apple files.
