Industrial safety
ENC contractor fatality and mine suspension
March–April 2026 · issuer reported · high materiality
A contractor engaged by Fajar Metal Industry died during ENC transmission-line construction on the Hengjaya haul road in March 2026. Nickel said the energy ministry investigation had concluded and mining resumed on 9 April; the authority’s detailed findings were not obtained. ENC was equity accounted and excluded from the controlled-entity lost-time injury rate, so a zero rate did not encompass this death.
Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Management oversight and an incident during tenure do not establish personal fault or control of the third-party contractor.
Relevance: Relevant to operational and contractor safety oversight.
