A Vietnamese man in his 40s has been awarded 10.3 million JPY (USD 68,000) in compensation after a severe workplace injury. An Osaka court ruled that his employer, a metalworking company, was negligent in failing to provide safety training in his native language. The man, who had worked at the company for nearly a year, suffered a severe finger injury in January 2015 after failing to understand Japanese safety instructions.
