‘Factory fined RM13,000 after worker loses fingers’
• Saturday, 15 Jan 2022
TELUK INTAN: A motorcycle accessory manufacturing and assembling factory was fined RM13,000 at the Teluk Intan Sessions Court after a worker lost two fingers while using a machine at work.
The Perak Occupational Safety and Health Department said CJM Industries Sdn Bhd, represented by its managing director as the employer, pleaded guilty after the charge was read before judge Intan Nurul Farena Zainal Abidin.
The charge was made in accordance with Section 15(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, which provides for a fine not exceeding RM50,000 or imprisonment not exceeding two years or both, upon conviction, it said.
“CJM Industries Sdn Bhd, as an employer, has failed to ensure as far as practicable, the safety, health and welfare of its employees while working; namely, failing to provide a safe work system for activities using a stamping machine, resulting in an accident to a 52-year-old local worker.
“The 2.15pm accident on July 23 last year had caused the victim to suffer serious injuries, namely, severing the index and middle fingers of his right hand due to (his fingers) being squeezed between the die and mould of the stamping machine,” quoted Bernama from a statement issued yesterday.
