When it comes to Samsung, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Everyone is also paying close attention to the Samsung carbon dioxide leakage incident. Let’s find out what is going on.

Samsung Electronics said a carbon dioxide leak occurred at one of its chip factories on Tuesday, killing one worker and injuring two others. Samsung said in a statement that the three were found unconscious in the basement of its semiconductor factory in Suwon.

A 24-year-old male worker was pronounced dead a few hours after being sent to the hospital. The other two workers, aged 26 and 54, were still unconscious.

The principle of some imitation equipment is to reduce the oxygen content of the space by injecting carbon dioxide, so that the fire loses the oxygen it needs to continue burning. Samsung believes workers caused the carbon dioxide leak while inspecting equipment.

Samsung is a repeat offender when it comes to toxic substance leaks. In March 2014, a 52-year-old Samsung contractor also died due to a carbon dioxide leak while working at a Samsung Electronics R&D center in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province. The investigation at the time concluded that a malfunction in the fire extinguishing system caused the gas leak.

In addition, in January 2013, a hydrofluoric acid leak occurred at the Samsung chip factory in Suwon. 10 liters of highly corrosive hydrofluoric acid evaporated into the air, killing one worker and four others. Injuried. After the incident, Samsung was fined $1,000.

Before Samsung Electronics, there was only "Samsung Sanghoe", a trading company founded by Lee Byung-cheol in 1938. It mainly manufactured dried seafood and noodles.

The business was progressing well. In 1948, Li Bingzhe founded Samsung Mulsan (now Samsung Corporation). The prosperity was short-lived. Due to the war, Li Byung-cheol was forced to abandon the company in Seoul, leaving him with almost nothing.

At this time, Samsung was already dead and the story was over. Li Byung-cheol went to Busan to recover losses and saved Samsung Mulsan from the brink of death. The war made the trading company prosperous, and within a few years, Li Bingzhe invested the money he earned into other sub-businesses.

From then on, Samsung’s path to the chaebol began. South Korea's chaebols are a strange thing: large, diverse business conglomerates, with one notable difference compared to the likes of General Motors. Leadership is not given to outsiders, all power is held by family members.
