The employee's arm was jammed in the machine while he was trying to manually feed papers into it.

Officials of the Lagos State Safety Commission on Tuesday met with the management of Rigipark Containers Limited over workplace hazards at the latter’s factory.

“They dropped me and called me back in 2016. I was a staff from 2014-2015, it was just 10 months before they dropped me and called me back as a contract staff,” said Mr Ifokwe, 36, who hails from Abia State. “As long as people are in Lagos, we want them to be safe, every company must have a safety policy in place. Allowing workers to work overtime without being paid for it is in itself an offence.”

“We are a law-abiding corporate institution that was why we reported the incident and we also took care of the victim.”
