The accident occurred in the aluminum factory in the district, when the basket of materials that was broken according to shared information fell on the young worker (name omitted) The injured worker was hospitalized by paramedics on the scene. The pearl could not be saved despite all the interventions.

The young worker who died was found to have been working in the factory for nearly six months and was engaged.

We offer our sincere condolences to the deceased worker’s family, friends, and coworkers. We are at a loss for words to express our profound sadness on this (and every) fatal incident.

By happenstance we were at this factory weeks afterwards. We were told the incident involved the movement of two baskets carrying extrusions. Either the chains were not attached correctly or something failed. We will inquire and post more on this blogpost as information is provided.

We tell workplaces that the responsibility of the workers to never be under a suspend load lies with them. That includes the crane operator directing either the load around workers or forcing the workers to temporarily evacuate where the suspended load will travel.

On our site visits we commonly observe workers. Just stand in an area and watch. Watch for hours, watch for procedures to repeated. If you watch long enough you will either find the workers are adhering to their training or skipping steps. The later can kill.
