On April 17, information from the People's Committee of Bach Quang Ward (Song Cong City) said that a work accident had just occurred in a factory, killing 1 person.
Accordingly, the incident occurred on April 15 at the factory of Thai Nguyen Zinc - Power Fertilizer Factory (under VIMICO Company) operating in Song Cong I Industrial Park.
During the work, a male worker (identity not yet determined) slipped and fell from a height to the ground, seriously injured. Immediately afterwards, this person was taken to Thai Nguyen C Hospital for emergency treatment, but due to severe injuries, he died.
Regarding the incident, Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu - Chief of Office of VIMICO Company confirmed that the accident occurred at the unit's factory, but the workers were under the management of a partner enterprise.
"That partner enterprise is the contractor for the construction for us. Due to the company's leadership's absence, the Company's Office does not have a clear understanding of who the deceased workers were and which construction unit they belonged to," Mr. Hieu added.
The incident is currently being verified and clarified by the authorities.
