SINGAPORE — One was killed and 10 other workers were hurt in a scaffolding collapse accident at a construction site on Sentosa today (Jan 29).
The Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF) said they received a call for assistance at 3.19 pm this afternoon. One fire engine, one Red Rhino, 6 ambulances and 5 support vehicles were dispatched to the accident site at Palawan Beach in Sentosa.
11 workers were sent Singapore General Hospital with injuries, SCDF said.
There have been a spate of workplace accidents in Singapore in recent weeks, prompting Acting Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin to write a note on his blog this morning where he urged companies to take ownership of workplace safety, saying that many of the recent accidents “could have been avoided”.
AGAIN..and again...
