A horrific accident occurred at a paper factory in Sam Khok District, Pathum Thani Province, where a 21-year-old male worker was fatally crushed by a paper press machine. The incident happened on the evening of August 8, at approximately 20:00. The police and emergency responders were alerted to the scene, but despite their efforts, the worker was pronounced dead shortly after being found.

 

Upon arrival at the scene, respondersdiscovered the worker trapped in the machine, with his body and head partially compressed. The worker was found lying on his right side, with more than half of his body caught in the press. Despite attempts to rescue him, his pulse weakened, and he succumbed to his injuries shortly afterward. The police have since coordinated with the forensic experts from the Ministry of Justice's Institute of Forensic Science to conduct an autopsy.

 

Coworkers who were near the scene stated that six employees were working overtime in the building at the time of the accident. The victim was assigned to monitor the paper-cutting machine, and no one saw or heard anything unusual until they discovered his body trapped in the press. The workers immediately informed their supervisor, who contacted security and emergency services, but it was too late to save him.

 

The supervisor confirmed that fewer than ten employees were working overtime at the time of the incident. He emphasised that safety protocols are always reiterated before work begins. The deceased worker had only been employed at the factory for just over a month. On the morning of the accident, the company had shown a safety video to all employees, highlighting the dangers of workplace negligence, in an effort to prevent such accidents. The company has pledged full support to the worker’s family during this difficult time.

 

Authorities plan to conduct thorough interviews with witnesses and have sent the body for further examination at the Institute of Forensic Science, Ministry of Justice.
