A two-part investigative report by TheCable exposed the poor working conditions of factory workers in Lagos state and how these companies failed to provide protective and safety measures for their workers.part detailed the condition of Eworo, the 29-year-old worker whose hand was stuck in the base of an active mixer while on a night shift at the Monaplex plastic factory on August 31, 2023.
“The doctor said the time has been wasted and the surgery should have been done immediately after the incident happened, but now that the hand is swollen,. I would have to wait till it reduces before it can be further examined,” Matthew told TheCable on his second appointment with the doctor on October 5.
Upon arrival at the facility, some staff members were loading a heap of plastic products — tables, chairs, basins — into a truck. All workers wore safety jackets and boots, but only a few wore gloves.There was a marked-out safety walkway from the facility entrance to the factory and the administration building. The walkway was demarcated by a thin, amber line less than a few feet wide.
He said the company employed a health safety executive to supervise the workers and enforce adherence to safety rules.
