The company did not notify the workplace safety and health (WSH) branch of the incident until the following day.
Advance Paper Box pleaded guilty to failing to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety, health and welfare of its employee, and failing to notify the WSH branch of a serious incident involving its employee as quickly as possible.
