The dead worker was named as Puspa Taming, a Nepali national.

Top Glove said it would keep his family informed, as well as any other party with legitimate interest in the progress of the investigation and its conclusion.

Migrant workers’ rights specialist Andy Hall said Puspa had died while on shift last night at a site identified as “F19 compounding area”.

In a 20-second video believed to have been taken at the scene of the incident, a man wearing an unbuttoned blue and yellow uniform shirt and jeans was seen lying on his back, on top of what appeared to be part of a large machine.

A separate photograph also showed the worker’s identification tag with his personal details, confirming his nationality and work area, as revealed by Hall and at least one other source familiar with the matter.

Top Glove said social security protection was in place for all its employees, in line with government requirements and it remained committed to the health and wellbeing of its workforce. The company said it would render appropriate aid to Puspa’s family.

Hall said there had been two other deaths of Top Glove migrant workers recently, a Bangladeshi and Nepali national, who were assigned to the “F22 robotic area” at another factory, also in Klang.
