[Discription of Incident]
This accident
occurred during work to wash a drum that contained an adhesive in a
cellophane tape manufacturing factory.
The victim who was
on the night shift was working with a group leader to monitor the machine
that applies a coat of adhesive and to conduct sampling inspections,
etc.
While they were
taking turns working in thirty-minute shifts, the victim did not return to
work after a break. When the group leader searched for the victim, he
found the unconscious victim who had fallen head-first into an empty drum
that previously contained adhesive.
Although the
victim was immediately taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, he
never regained consciousness.
Incidentally, this
drum had been washed by a group leader on the day shift, and this matter
was transferred to the night shift workers at the time of the shift-change
meeting.
