Placing a limb into a machine is not recommended. Nevertheless, there are times when workers place their arm or leg into a machine. Most times the
The injured worker was taken to (nearby hospital 25 km away) after the first
intervention by the medical teams one day in November 2025.
A worker named (omitted),
who works in a factory in (town name omitted), lost his leg to the machine
while working for an undetermined reason. (The injured worker), who collapsed
in pain at the time of the incident, was given first aid by his colleagues in
the vicinity. Upon reporting the situation, health and gendarmerie teams were
dispatched to the scene. (The injured worker) who was seriously injured, was
taken to (nearby) Hospital by ambulance after the intervention of medical
teams.
It
is learned that (injured worker's) life is still in danger, and an
investigation has been launched into the incident. After the accident,
occupational safety measures came to the fore once again.
We pray for the injured worker. We pray that they survive and if
they indeed lost their leg. They are given every opportunity to get on their
lives both physically and mentally.
We pray that the news article in this post was incorrect. There were 6-8 news articles on this incident, only one news article stated the worker injured their leg when the machine clamped down on their leg and hip. That news article did not state the amputation. We pray that it was correct and the worker injured their leg and hip. We would assume that the leg and hip was broke if there was no amputation.
Lastly, we hope every reader takes this incident back to their workplace and ask, "How can a worker in our workplace lose a finger, hand, arm, or leg?" Then audit your workplace and determine if machinery guarding and/or revised training can prevent an incident occur.
