ArcelorMittal moet 330.000 euro betalen aan arbeider die blind werd na arbeidsongeval in Gent De Gentse rechtbank heeft staalbedrijf ArcelorMittal in de Gentse haven veroordeeld tot het betalen van een schadevergoeding van 330.000 euro aan een Portugese arbeider. De man raakte in 2016 volledig blind na een ernstig arbeidsongeval. De man werkte via een onderaannemer en kreeg tijdens onderhoudswerken een straal hydraulische olie in de ogen. Hij droeg een veiligheidsbril, maar raakte toch zwaargewond. De bril werd door de hoge druk van zijn hoofd geblazen. Het slachtoffer verloor het zicht in beide ogen en is sindsdien volledig blind. Hij eiste een schadevergoeding van 700.000 euro, voor zijn blijvende invaliditeit en verlies van zelfstandigheid. ArcelorMittal erkende het ongeval en de tragische gevolgen, maar betwistte een deel van de gevraagde vergoeding. www.vrt.be Automatic Translation: ArcelorMittal ordered to pay 330,000 euros to worker who went blind after work accident in Ghent The Ghent court has ordered steel company ArcelorMittal in the port of Ghent to pay 330,000 euros in damages to a Portuguese worker.

He claimed 700,000 euros in damages for his permanent disability and loss of independence. ArcelorMittal acknowledged the accident and the tragic consequences, but disputed part of the requested compensation.

Man die blind raak­te bij arbeids­on­ge­val Arcel­or­Mit­tal krijgt 330.000 euro schadevergoeding Een Portugese man die in 2016 volledig blind raakte bij een ernstig arbeidsongeval op de site van ArcelorMittal in de Gentse haven, krijgt een schadevergoeding van 330.000 euro. Dat heeft de correctionele rechtbank van Gent beslist. Het ongeval gebeurde op 16 maart 2016, toen de man onderhoudswerken uitvoerde bij de staalfabrikant. Tijdens de werken werd hij in het gezicht getroffen door een krachtige straal hydraulische olie, met als gevolg dat hij volledig blind werd aan beide ogen. De man werkte op dat moment voor een onderaannemer van ArcelorMittal. De gevolgen van het ongeval waren ingrijpend. Naast de medische impact – de man verloor zijn volledige gezichtsvermogen – verloor hij ook zijn job en zelfstandigheid. “Het leven van mijn cliënt werd op één moment volledig uit elkaar gerukt”; aldus een bron dicht bij het dossier. avs.be Automatic Translation: Man who went blind in ArcelorMittal work accident receives 330,000 euros in compensation A Portuguese man who went completely blind in 2016 in a serious work accident at the ArcelorMittal site in the port of Ghent will receive 330,000 euros in compensation. This was decided by the Ghent criminal court. The accident happened on 16 March 2016, when the man was carrying out maintenance work at the steel manufacturer. During the work, he was hit in the face by a powerful jet of hydraulic oil, causing him to go completely blind in both eyes. At the time, the man was working for a subcontractor of ArcelorMittal. The consequences of the accident were drastic. In addition to the medical impact – the man lost all his vision – he also lost his job and independence. “My client's life was completely torn apart in one moment,” according to a source close to the case.

ArcelorMittal leak spills fuel oil in Ghent-Terneuzen canal Sarhan Basem Ghent (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – In a new spill at the ArcelorMittal steel company in Ghent, a port of fuel oil polluted the Ghent-Terneuzen canal. It was a fire brigade’s problem; they dammed a 1-kilometre track, and an external company treated the fuel oil from the water. It all started from a heating installation. Last night, an attentive employee at the Ghent ArcelorMittal steel plant noticed fuel oil flowing from a broken heating system, which triggered a swift emergency response. A heating installation leak released substantial fuel oil into the Ghent-Terneuzen canal, which spread across a 1-kilometre-long section of the canal, as reported by VRT. brusselsmorning.com

Compensation of €330,000 for man blinded in ArcelorMittal accident A Portuguese man who lost his sight following a workplace accident in 2016 at the ArcelorMittal steel plant in the Ghent port has been awarded €330,000 in compensation, a Ghent court has ruled. The accident occurred on 16 March 2016. The man, employed by a subcontractor at ArcelorMittal, was blinded when a jet of hydraulic oil hit his eyes during maintenance work. In 2018, the subcontractor and ArcelorMittal were fined €30,000 and €18,000 respectively, half of which was suspended. An expert was appointed to assess the man’s compensation, and on Wednesday the court announced the final amount. He has been awarded €330,000 plus interest. www.brusselstimes.com

ArcelorMittal Faces Massive €330,000 Payout for Worker’s Devastating Blindness in Ghent ArcelorMittal to Pay €330,000 for Worker’s Blindness in Ghent A serious workplace accident involving hydraulic oil has raised important safety and legal questions in Belgium. On 2025-05-07 13:25:00, a man working through a subcontractor suffered severe eye injuries during maintenance work, despite wearing safety goggles. The high-pressure jet of hydraulic oil caused the goggles to fail, resulting in permanent blindness. The victim sought compensation of €700,000 for his lifelong disability and loss of independence. Although ArcelorMittal acknowledged the accident and its tragic consequences, they disputed part of the compensation claim. Eventually, a court in Ghent awarded €330,000 in damages, in addition to insurance payouts already received. Both the company and subcontractor were previously convicted in 2018 for the work accident. news.faharas.net

Ölunfall bei ArcelorMittal im Hafen von Gent: Ölteppich im Kanal Gent-Terneuzen Durch ein Loch in einem Tank auf dem Gelände des Stahlproduzenten Arcelor Mittal im Hafen von Gent ist Heizöl ausgelaufen und in den Kanal Gent-Terneuzen gelangt. Es bildete sich ein etwa ein Kilometer langer Ölteppich. Die Feuerwehr errichtete Ölsperren und beauftragte eine Spezialfirma mit den Sanerungsarbeiten. Nach Angaben der Feuerwehr handelt es sich um schweres Heizöl, das sich schnell ausbreitet und schwer zu entfernen ist. Durch den Ölunfall kommt es zu Behinderungen im Schiffsverkehr. Der Kanal ist zwar passierbar, doch müssen Schiffe die Unglücksstelle mit reduzierter Geschwindigkeit umschiffen. brf.be Automatic Translation: Oil spill at ArcelorMittal in the Port of Ghent: Oil slick in the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal Heating oil leaked through a hole in a tank on the premises of steel producer ArcelorMittal in the Port of Ghent and entered the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal.

ArcelorMittal moet schadevergoeding van 330.000 euro betalen aan werknemer die blind raakt bij bedrijfsongeval © REUTERS Gent - Staalfabrikant ArcelorMittal is woensdag door de Gentse rechtbank veroordeeld tot betaling van een schadevergoeding van 330.000 euro. Een werknemer was bij een ongeval in het Gentse bedrijf blind geraakt. Het slachtoffer, een Portugese man, werkte in 2016 via een onderaannemer bij staalreus ArcelorMittal, in de Gentse haven. Hij kreeg per ongeluk een straal hydraulische olie in de ogen en werd daardoor blind. Voor dat bedrijfsongeval werd de staalfabrikant in een proces veroordeeld. Vervolgens werd nog een gerechtelijke procedure aangespannen over de schadevergoeding. LEES OOK. Werknemer ArcelorMittal is blind na arbeidsongeval en vraagt 700.000 euro: “Elke dag is het voor hem lastig geworden om te leven” Op de zitting van maart deden advocaten de impact van het arbeidsongeval op het leven van de man uit de doeken, van lichamelijke tot huishoudelijke ongeschiktheid. “Van de ene op de andere dag is meneer blind geworden. Hij kan zijn partner niet meer zien. Hij kan zich niet meer zelfstandig verplaatsen. Elke dag is het lastig om te leven.” Het slachtoffer vroeg daarom een tegemoetkoming van 700.000 euro. “De verzekering heeft begin dit jaar ook een bedrag van 110.000 euro uitbetaald”, duidden de advocaten nog. www.nieuwsblad.be Automatic Translation: ArcelorMittal ordered to pay 330,000 euros in damages to employee who goes blind in industrial accident © REUTERS Ghent - Steel manufacturer ArcelorMittal was ordered by the Ghent court on Wednesday to pay 330,000 euros in damages. An employee was blinded in an accident at the Ghent company. The victim, a Portuguese man, worked in 2016 via a subcontractor at steel giant ArcelorMittal, in the port of Ghent. He accidentally got a jet of hydraulic oil in his eyes and went blind as a result. The steel manufacturer was convicted in a lawsuit for that industrial accident. Subsequently, legal proceedings were initiated regarding the damages. READ ALSO. ArcelorMittal employee is blind after work accident and asks for 700,000 euros: “Every day it has become difficult for him to live” At the hearing in March, lawyers explained the impact of the work accident on the man's life, from physical to domestic disability. “From one day to the next, the man went blind. He can no longer see his partner. He can no longer move independently. Every day it is difficult to live.” The victim therefore asked for compensation of 700,000 euros. “The insurance also paid out an amount of 110,000 euros at the beginning of this year,” the lawyers indicated.
