Quỳnh Chi |

On the evening of December 30, Mr. Phan Tien Hoang - Head of the Labor Management Department of the Vietnamese Embassy in Japan said that the condition of the two Vietnamese workers who were burned is getting worse.

From Japan, speaking to Lao Dong reporter, Mr. Phan Tien Hoang said that the two injured people were Vietnamese workers who went to Japan to work under the trainee program and were in a coma, losing consciousness, of which one worker suffered third-degree burns - the most severe level.

Previously, an explosion occurred at the Maruyama Painting Industry factory in Tonoshima, Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture at around 4 p.m. on December 28 (local time), causing three workers to suffer severe burns, including two Vietnamese trainees. The two injured were Vietnamese workers N.C.A (born in 2001) and D.V.V (born in 2004) who came to Japan to work under the trainee program.

Mr. Phan Tien Hoang said the Labor Management Board has contacted the management union in Japan and the dispatching company in Vietnam.

The Labor Management Board and the Vietnamese Embassy in Japan also issued a document directing the Vietnamese dispatching company to coordinate with the union and work with the hospital treating the workers to request active treatment to ensure the lives and health of the two interns.

“Both workers are receiving intensive treatment at a major hospital in Osaka. Doctors said that because the patients suffered burns all over their bodies, they will have to undergo partial surgery,” said Mr. Phan Tien Hoang.

According to Mr. Hoang, the fire police are blocking off the scene to investigate the cause. Tomorrow, the Labor Management Board will go to Osaka to visit the workers and work with the union, supporting the workers.
