Cloudburst!
Could a disaster on the scale of Bhopal happen in Britain? The chemical industry knows that the answer is yes.
It employs people to work out the odds on catastrophe, and how the dangers can be minimised.
But what responsibilities do the chemical manufacturers have to the communities in which they live and work? Do we know enough about the daily risks we live beside? Peter Taylor follows through the questions raised by last week's Brass Tacks and asks those at the heart of our industrial communities whether a race for jobs and investment is worth a gamble on safety.
