george Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Factory worker dies after falling in vat of tuna SURAT THANI: --A worker in a canning factory in Thailand's southern province of Surat Thani died yesterday after falling into a vat of boiling tuna fish. Mrs. Penkair Thongorn, 51, a worker at Thawiworn Inter Trading Co. Ltd., died in hospital after receiving multiple burns on 5 October. The worker was cleaning the floor near the boiling vat when she slipped and fell in. Colleagues at the factory said that Mrs. Penkair was not based in the department where the incident happened, but that she was a hard working woman who tended to help out in other departments when she had a spare moment. The factory, which paid for all Mrs. Penkair’s medical bills, has been ordered by provincial industry officials to install railings around the boiling vats. Mrs. Penkair’s relatives have declined to press legal charges. --TNA 2004-10-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sriracha john Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 No safety railings surrounding huge boiling pots?? Every major factory should a safety department, safety manager, and a safety committee? This factory is obscenely guilty of gross negligence. I feel very, very sorry for her family...she sounded like a very nice lady. Rest in peace.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Have they fished her out yet? Sad, but not uncommon, like the youngster who fell in the rice last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kringle Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 astral should be taken as A__hole, you are not in the least bit funny with your comment. Where do you and your ilk get that comments like this are in any way funny. Very sad indeed for the lady that must have suffered extreme pain and suffering before she passed away. Condolences to the family of this nice lady. Get a life you idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDN Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 ....Every major factory should a safety department, safety manager, and a safety committee? This factory is obscenely guilty of gross negligence.... Aren't these Western concepts that cost money to implement? And this is Thailand with poor people willing to work in dangerous (by Western standards) places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
