The prominent drinking Water Company, HEMA, is on the spot for neglecting its workers and exposing them to terrible hazards. Contrary to the norm that all manufacturing plants MUST provide Personal Protective Equipment, commonly referred to as PPE, the Kawempe based plant deploys workers to use their live bodies for protection. The PPEs like Gloves, protective hearing gear (earplugs, muffs), hard hats, goggles, respirators, and full-body suits are required to ensure more safety and reassurance in a dangerous manufacturing environment. However, this is a fallacy to the top management at Hema Company Limited. The latest victim of the company’s negligence is Ezekiel Talemwa who is at the verge of losing his eyes.

With no option, the young man ventured into the confined and treacherous tank with only torches to guide his way. He tragically lost consci...
