This is Maeil Dairy's Pyeongtaek factory that manufactures food and beverages.



Yesterday (17th) at around 8:40 pm, a 32-year-old employee of this factory was found caught in an automated facility in the factory.



Fire and rescue teams took Mr. A to the hospital within 10 minutes of reporting it, but he died.



[Cargo driver at the factory: So, hard hat (he said to wear it), that's what he said this morning.

It was a bit messy.

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 factory employee: (Drink) The production team is wearing these clothes, but if you look at (clothes) here, it says production.

(The factory where the accident happened) is on the right.

I don't see it here.

It will be difficult to photograph.]



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



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



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