A Bangladeshi construction worker who was installing solar panels fell from the roof of a workshop in Tuas on Sunday and later died from his injuries.
He said: “As a general safety measure, work-at-height fall prevention measures – such as the use of travel restraints and fall arrest systems – must be communicated to the workers involved and implemented on-site.” The Migrant Workers’ Centre said on Tuesday that BBG Electrical Engineering is arranging for the worker’s body to be sent back to his family in Bangladesh.
MWC executive director Michael Lim said: “We are ready to assess and address any urgent needs and assistance required. We recognise the significant impact such incidents can have on the livelihoods of the families involved, and we remain dedicated to providing a helping hand during times of crisis.”
