A Factory Worker Had All Her Hair Ripped Off Her Head After It Got Stuck in A Machine

Phnom Penh: A woman factory worker working at shoes factory Chu Star located in along concrete street in Trapeang Krasang commune, Pur Senchey district, had all her hair ripped off her scalp. While she was working, cutting the shoes leather, she bowed down to pick up the dropped bottom part of the shoe and at one point her hair got stuck in the machine and ended up ripping off all her hair leaving her a blooding skull. The incident happened at 2:30 pm on 07 October 2016.

The victim named Eng Chita, 21 years old originally from Prey Veng province. After the incident, she was brought to Preah Kosomak hospital immediately by the factory representatives.

Related to this case, the local authority doesn't know about it at all, because the factory tried to hide the information. However, the victim is currently in stable condition. The victim is appealing for help from charitable people to cover her treatment as she has finance problem.

This prolly happens more frequently than is realised, and not only in countries where work safety is a low priority.

Poor woman, must be in pain but looks rather stoic, maybe in shock. She has asked for assistance to pay for treatment, so what happens if she does not get help financially and is it naive to suggest her employee will help in some way there?

Years ago in Youkay a "true Horror" safety-in-the-workplace film had half the audience of apprentices either vomiting or fainting.

This would do for inclusion just fine. Will her hair grow back?

This is the second scalping on here or TOF this year. Ouch.

I'd say she'll be lucky if the skin grows back in any way normal, let alone hair. Wigs and underneath them a head like a walnut is this poor girls future, I fear.

On working in the engine room of ships, I once had a new guy start work. On his first day he had his back to a flywheel of a 16 cylinder 6000hp diesel engine. The flywheel grabbed a wiping rag out of his back pocket. He never showed up the next day and quit.

A cheap hair cut. Slightly on the short side though. What company is this shop? Will it make bad press for them?

Scandalous. Not only was she working in unsafe conditions, but she has to pay for her own accident.
