Factory Worker Loses Finger in Machinery Accident; West Java Governor Steps In

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi has responded to a workplace accident involving an employee at a factory in Bekasi.

A video of the worker was posted on Dedi Mulyadi’s Instagram account, @dedimulyadi71, with the caption: “Finger severed after getting caught in machinery; Cikarang employee allegedly told to work again and forbidden from seeking compensation.”

In the video, the employee, named Rindi Natasya, says she hopes the company will take responsibility for her situation.

Known as KDM, the governor expressed sympathy for Rindi and called on the company to meet its obligations.

“To ensure this does not happen to anyone else, the company must fulfil its obligations, protect all its employees from workplace accidents and ensure they receive occupational safety protection,” KDM said on Saturday (7 November 2026).

To resolve the matter, KDM also invited Rindi to meet him at Gedung Pakuan next Monday. He urged all companies in West Java to comply with labour regulations and protect their workers.

Meanwhile, the West Java provincial Manpower and Transmigration Office said its Regional II Labour Inspection Unit in Karawang and the Bekasi Regency Manpower Office had followed up on information circulating on social media about the workplace accident involving Rindi Natasya, an employee of PT Daehyun Bobbin Indonesia.

The follow-up included an inspection of the company on 3 November 2026 to assess compliance with labour standards and the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) requirements.

“Following the inspection findings by labour inspectors and mediation by a mediator from Bekasi Regency, the company’s management ultimately issued a written statement, set out in a joint agreement with the worker,” the office said.
