One worker lost his life as a result of an explosion on a ship under construction in Usuki, Ōita Prefecture, Japan. The Saiki Labour Standards Inspection Office, which is conducting the investigation into the incident, charged three separate companies and company officials with violating the Occupational Safety and Health Act due to the failure to take adequate safety measures.
The explosion occurred while a 73-year-old male worker was painting inside the ship. According to the investigation, it was revealed that necessary ventilation measures were not taken for the flammable gases generated during the painting process.

The executives of both companies were referred to the prosecution due to their negligence regarding the incident.
