Page 1, Wednesday August 13, 2008

Two personnels of JCM Septic Manual Services died while draining a septic tank manually at house in Banilad, Cebu City. They suffocated while inside the septic tank and could no longer be revived. Cause of death is inhalation of hazardous methane and other gases while inside the tank.

JCM's truck pipe could not reach the bottom of the tank which had to require the 10 personnels of the septic tank draining service company to manually remove matter from the tank using pails. Only one person at a time can fit into the septic tank which left the workers helpless in rescue.
