A tragic incident took place at a bakery facility owned by SPC subsidiary Shany, resulting in serious harm to an employee in his 40s.
As reported by the Dalseong Police Station and Daegu Fire Department on the 11th, approximately 9:38 a.m. the prior day, Mrs. A, a 40-year-old Vietnamese national, sustained severe cuts on her right arm when it got caught in a device for positioning bread dough at Shany’s Daegu facility located in Nongong-eup, Dalseong-gun, Daegu. She was taken to a medical institution.
Law enforcement officials are examining if the company neglected its duties regarding safety protocols, with allegations of professional misconduct leading to harm. Additionally, labor regulators are looking into possible breaches of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
This isn't the first safety-related incident at an SPC Group subsidiary facility. In 2022, a young employee in his 20s was killed in a compression accident at SPL's Pyeongtaek plant. The next year, a worker in his 50s passed away due to a comparable occurrence at Shany's Seongnam factory. A few months ago, yet another individual in his 50s lost his life at Samlip's Sihwa factory.
In April of this year, two employees—one in their 20s and one in their 30s—lost portions of their fingers while employed at Samlip’s Sihwa facility. At that moment, President Lee Jae Myung directed an immediate inquiry during a government session, prompting law enforcement to establish a specialized unit. Last month, the Sihwa plant underwent a recent raid and inspection.
