The position he is in makes it impossible for him to do anything.
My workplace had no safety measures and only permitted 10-minute lunch breaks. The fridge was chained so that we could not get any water from it. The day I quit, a stack waiting to be taken to a shop fell on a man and instead of asking him if he’s okay or helping him, they yelled at him as he lay on the floor.
He was told that by slowing down production, he cost the company money. Not to mention any lost products if something broke. I went up to the counter, clock out and left. I didn’t come back to get my final check because I thought it was not worth it.
