The case of Caleb Otieno melting into pieces after being pulled into a metal melting furnace, due to his gloves getting stuck while pushing metal pieces into the furnace, is an indication of plants’ failure to implement safety measures in a working environment.
This case was not just a normal accident, but a negligence case, where employees are exposed to extremely dangerous working environment. The government must come up with stringent measures to punish owners of such plants as away to protect employees.
The lower rank employees have been neglected and underpaid because of corruption in government, where officials are bribed to ignore some of the safety measures, that companies must implement to ensure safe working environment.
Large amount of compensation can also be put in place to force companies to implement safety measures to prevent such tragedies like what happened to Caleb Otieno. It is very sad and devastating to imagine the pain Caleb underwent before meeting his death.
