Police discovered that the deceased as well as other labourers in the factory were not on the factory's sponsorship. A Sharjah police spokesperson stressed the importance of employing experienced workers in such high-risk professions.

"Unqualified and unskilled labour should not be allowed to operate dangerous equipment and machinery. This dangerous practice may result in the death, injury or disability of the workers." He said that legal action shall be taken against those who employ unsponsored apprentices.
