The Industry Ministry ordered a Si Maha Phot, Prachinburi industrial plant to halt operations under Section 39 after oil residue spread with flood water. Authorities say preliminary tests show only oil, no other toxins, but residents are told to avoid contact and wash off any exposure. The order also bars bringing waste materials into the plant and requires dike, landfill and waste-water fixes before restart. For Thai SMEs in flood-hit areas, this signals tighter enforcement on waste storage and flood-period controls, so check your own containment and waste handling now.
