The Bhopal Gas leak was a first of its kind in the history of India. It is a tragedy which needs to be looked time and again so that process safety is never undermined ever at any stage in future in the entire globe. The tragedy had many dimensions. One important parameter was medical though others were also significant. The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) organized multiple clinical research studies on the affected population. The massive figure of mortality includes approximately 5,000 children who died instantly and several hundred thousand disabled for life, including born with defects arising from the disaster. The chronology of the Bhopal incident is measured in calendars as it traces a series of connected developments that span years. So here is our attempt to revisit Bhopal and pick out some points to reestablish and restate that safety is not a company's duty it should be a part of its executing lifestyle.
