Unsafe act, Unsafe condition. Your SAFETY is the most important factor on the field for an accident can either cause a permanent injury or death. #It's a pity

God, just hope the owner of the company will do something about it.

Even if he were to be given a billion dollars in compensation which I know is impossible. Will it bring back his lost fingers?

I can't imagine the screams that would have escaped his mouth as his fingers were crushed! Jeez.

Oh my this is so sad. I don't understand why Nigerians don't take health and safety seriously. For instance,you go to a building site and you see the workers working barefooted,no hard hats,no boots and no safety clothing. That is just a disaster waiting to happen.

Very very sad, I hope he has disability insurance, cuz he's gonna need it now he's out of work. Rather than sympathizing with this man, why don't we start a Nairaland Fund Raising Campaign to cover his medical treatment? Heck, even if he has to fly to India for treatment, let's use social media to make positive changes for once and not just focus on celebrities or politics.

Pray senate signs the safety bill soonest.

Job hazard Analysis is lacking in that company

The senate has passed it since 2012. It has been awaiting presidential assent ever since. GEJ failed to sign in into law before the expiration of his tenure.

I hope PMB will perform better and sign it into law soonest.

Its cos of accident like this that the government enacted the employees compensation act that sets up the employees compensation scheme where every employee are insured against workplace injury.......i just hope his employer has signed up for the scheme, if they have then he gets compensated for the loss of the fingers.

And?? are you saying Nigerians don't have the heart and soul to donate towards a good cause?? Every year Bill Gate and his wife Melinda donate billions of dollars to fight malaria in Africa, but why?? We have billionaires too in Nigeria, why can't they foot the bill? They say to better the world, you have to better yourself, we can start here.

This is one of the things that makes people not to work as machine operator. I suggest that the owner of the company should find a way to help him out by making good compensation to him and also retain him in the subsequent ones

Talk about safety at work places. If it's not safe, count me out!

Then never pray to eat money from an offshore worker. I bet you wont stand to have a glance of the risk they take at work.

Even with the act, the employee can only pay compensation on a compassionate ground. he's obviously not the right person that is supposed to fix the machine. it seems he just wanted to do it for the organization.

Re: Manager Loses Four Fingers To Omega Machine In Awka (Graphic Photos) by Dhotseal(m): 8:32pm On Jun 21, 2015
So sorry about this, just hope the fingers can be saved.

Anyway, pls contact your lawyer, this total disability, and under the employee compensation Act, you are entitled to be compensated for the loss of the fingers. Pls, he should not negotiate with his employers on his own, let him get a lawyer involved. I would have offered my services pro bono, but I am based in Lagos. let him get a sound attorney in Awka. Sorry for the terrible accident. All the best to him.

Safety First. This is a safety issue, what does the safety officer have to say on granting permission to work. If there is no safe at work, the victim should be adequately compensated.

No sir, the employer has a duty in law to compensate. If you read the Act you will understand that the employer is almost strictly liable for all work place accidents. He can keep his compassion to himself and compensate the guy already or he stands to lose a lot.

Industrial hazard. Dangers of working in production unit. Its an unexpected and unfortunate experience. That calls for need for workers assurance and hazard allowances to be included on workers salaries.

Chineke mee ebele cry, this is what is termed as occupational hazard.
is advisable to be in protective device during production in factories especially those at machinery units, any way quick recovery to the injured Ahmed. Ndooo.

Better safety training could have prevented this. I feel sorry for him but I have seen many people take this kind of hazards for granted while working. What an ugly example or learning point for all other workers in the plant. He needs expert attention to cut off what is not useful to the hand before it makes a huge mess of his left hand.
speedy recovery.
The safety training record of the plastic company needs to be checked.

That's right my bro. there are things you don't do when a machine is still powered. He probably did not have the right training or clearance to attempt to fix the machine. Just sad. A broken machine is easier to manage than broken fingers.
