At around 8:40 on the night of the 17th (17th), a 32-year-old employee of this factory, Mr. A, was found caught in an automated facility in the factory.

"So, the hard hat (they told me to wear it), it just started this morning. It was a little cluttered.



At the time of the accident, an automated facility that spreads and moves beverage product pallets from outside the factory one by one was in operation, and it is known that Mr. A conducted an inspection at the point where this facility and the conveyor belt were connected.



It is presumed that Mr. A, who was working in sanitary clothes, was sucked into this facility.



At the time, it was confirmed that Mr. A was put into three-shift work, operating and operating production facilities in a two-person group with one of his colleagues at the time.

"The (drink) production team wears these clothes, but if you look here (on the clothes), it says production. (The factory where the accident happened) is on the right. You can't see it from here. It's going to be difficult to photograph."



The Ministry of Labor and Employment ordered the plant to stop working and launched an investigation.

"The Pyeongtaek Factory of Maeil Dairy, where the accident occurred, has more than 50 full-time workers, so the Serious Accident Punishment Act can be applied."



The police and the Ministry of Labor are investigating the circumstances of the accident by calling a fellow worker who worked with A at the scene of the accident.



If the company's negligence is confirmed in the course of the death of Mr. A, the person in charge will be charged with negligence and manslaughter.
