Many of the 12 who were killed during training suffered fatal injuries while working. In one case,
a trainee was crushed by a forklift when the vehicle overturned while the trainee was operating it.
In another case, a trainee died while trying to rescue a Japanese colleague buried
while digging a ditch for pipe work for water services.
Regarding suicides, besides the six cases clearly ruled as such,
there are multiple instances in which suicide is suspected. One trainee was hit
by a train after entering a railway crossing, while another died after drinking pesticide.
Four trainees were also murdered, two of whom were stabbed to death by fellow foreign trainees,
according to the Justice Ministry data revealed by Nagatsuma.
As many as 260,000 foreign technical trainees are said to be in Japan now,
and more than 7,000 went missing from their employers in 2017 alone.
"Those fatal cases emerged for the first time, but their background and the responsible parties are still unclear,
" Nagatsuma wrote in his article. He added that the government needs to do more to grasp what is really going on with the trainees,
as the trainee program is the basis of immigration system reform the government intends to introduce as early as next April.
