SHANGHAI has launched widespread work safety inspections in the wake of massive explosions in a warehouse in north China’s Tianjin last Wednesday.

Yesterday, the death toll from the blasts reached 112, with 95 people missing and more than 700 people hospitalized.

In the city, inspections are targeting enterprises involved in the production, operation, storage and transport of hazardous chemicals, inflammable materials and explosives, Shanghai’s vice mayor, Zhou Bo, said at a work safety meeting on Saturday.
