Wow so many bad things happening at Samsung's factories. Unfortunate that a worker was killed as well. Do big companies like Samsung & Apple get more unfortunate incidents or just more press/media attention when things like this happen?

Should be more careful with stuffs like that.
Knowing it's a dangerous substance, proper care should be taken, before the leak, not after.

Does that means, the ax chips is poison? And poison the workers as well? :(

Hydrofluoric acid is so corrosive that glass cannot be used to store it because it causes the glass to dissolve.

It's insanely dangerous, why didn't Samsung have better safety procedures? It's impossible to feel it on the skin because the acid molecules are so small that they seep through the skin and kill nerves immediately, and even the best medical care in the world will do nothing unless emergency care is taken within seconds.
