Company charged over 2 fatal workplace incidents, former factory manager fined $1,600

SINGAPORE - A manufacturer of metal tins and containers was charged on Thursday for failing to ensure the safety and health of two of its employees, resulting in their deaths in separate incidents over a period of six months.

The two employees were identified in court documents as Chinese national Wang Meifang, 33, and Singaporean See Ley Heo, 53. Investigations later revealed that one of the machine's mechanical frames was in a lowered position due to an air leakage, which allowed Ms Wang to enter a space between the frames.

M.C. Packaging had also developed a traffic management plan a year before the incident but did not implement it fully.
