The one-day shutdown was estimated to have cost the company 8.3 billion won ($7.2 million) in wages, excluding production losses and other financial damage.<\/p>\n<p>The latest death happened Tuesday, when a forklift crushed a worker at a plant in Ulsan. On April 18, a worker, 35, sent from an HHI small-business partner, was killed by an excavator at an HHI plant. The third worker died on April 11 in a similar accident.<\/p>\n<p>In March, two workers were killed.<\/p>\n<p>Alarmed by the workers&#8217; deaths, the shipbuilder decided to close the plants to conduct a full-scale safety inspection and provide a safety seminar for all employees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is very regrettable that three precious lives were lost over the past week due to serious accidents,&#8221; HHI said. &#8220;The company takes these incidents very seriously and will do everything to prevent them from recurring.
