Trapped woman waits two hours for proper help

Jarinya Boonwan waits in distress for rescue workers to free her trapped hand.

On October 9th, Jarinya Boonwan, an employee of the Pattaya Graphic Printing Company in Banglamung, was “held hostage” for over 2 hours after she accidentally caught her hand in an offset printing plate. Jarinya had not been instructed in the proper handling of the offset printing machine and her hand became caught up to her wrist while attempting to clean the plates.
Her boss, Sooboon Soboon, along with other workers under his instruction, had tried to free her hand, but after 2 hours of futile attempts they finally called the Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital and the Sawang Boriboon foundation.
Approximately 20 minutes after rescue workers arrived on the scene, they managed to pry the exposed plate off the machine with an axe and free the woman’s wrist.
Sooboon, obviously showing more concern for his machinery than for his employee, plaintively stated that if he had known the situation would have caused such a large problem, with police involvement, he would have called the hospital immediately.
