Police in South Korea referred the manager of Ourhome’s Yongin 2 plant and five other safety-related officials to prosecutors over a worker’s fatal entanglement. The worker was caught in a conveyor at the plant’s fourth-floor packaging area on June 8, and police said the conveyor lacked a safety cover that responsible officials knew about but failed to address.
The six were referred without detention on an occupational negligence causing death charge, while prosecutors will decide the next legal step.
