News24 reports that the South African Broadcasting Corporation's (SABC’s) Radio Park has been handed back to the broadcaster after it was cleared and declared safe for occupation.
Representatives of the Johannesburg Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the Fire Chief conducted a final air sampling and health and safety inspection on Sunday. "A detailed report on the incident will be submitted to the Department of Labour, as required by legislation and an assessment of the damage will continue in order to quantify the financial implications of the damage caused by the diesel spillage," spokesperson Vuyo Mthembu said on Sunday. The radio park in Auckland Park, Johannesburg was evacuated on Wednesday after 2,000 litres of diesel leaked from a generator on the 15th floor. Employees were instructed to stay at home, but have since been told to return to work on Monday. Staff from the wellness centre will be on standby, should anyone require any health related examination.
