DOSH Halted Bukit Minyak Factory Operations Following Fatal Incident

The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) ordered a factory in Bukit Minyak to cease its recycled paper loading operations due to a fatal accident. A 36-year-old lorry driver, employed by a sub-contractor, was killed when a 600-kilogramme compressed stack of recycled paper fell on him.
Fatal Accident Prompted Immediate Action

The tragic event occurred at approximately 7:45 PM on Monday. The driver had opened a container door and was in the process of turning on the internal lights when the heavy stack dislodged and crushed him. This incident directly led to the intervention by DOSH.
Stop-Work Order Issued Pending Investigation

In response to the fatality, DOSH issued a stop-work order specifically targeting all recycled paper loading activities at the factory. This order remains in effect while the department conducts its investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Potential Prosecution for Violations

DOSH has stated its intention to prosecute any parties found to be responsible for violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA 1994). The outcome of the ongoing investigation will determine if legal action will be pursued.
