On 8 August 2016 at about 1950hrs, the Occupational Safety and Health Division of Ministry of Manpower was alerted to an accident involving a construction worker at a worksite in Tuas.

It was reported that at about 1745hrs, a group of workers was lifting a formwork for the casting of the walls of a stairwell, when one of the chains used to lift the formwork snapped, causing the remaining chain section to swing outwards and hit a worker standing nearby. The worker was conveyed to Ng Teng Fong Hospital, where he subsequently passed away at about 1900hrs.

WSH Alert Accident Notification, 10 August 2016: Worker Struck by Lifting Gear

Importance of Crane Safety~ Mr Mohamed Abdul Akbar, Chairman of the National Crane Safety Taskforce» We noted that some of the Dangerous Occurrences were due to inadequate

extension of outriggers, insufficient training of crane operators and disregard for crane manufacturer’s requirements and poor maintenance.

» These DOs could have resulted in deaths if we do not adhere to safe work practices. We strongly urge the industry to review all lifting operations to make sure that they are conducted in a safe manner.
