SINGAPORE – A 44-year-old Bangladeshi worker died on the morning of Sept 29 after he was struck by a steel structure at a worksite on Sentosa.
A part of the structure had collapsed during lifting operations, hitting the worker, said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in response to queries. He was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic.
The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they were alerted to the incident at 8 Sentosa Gateway at about 8am.
No foul play is suspected, said the police, who added that investigations are ongoing.
MOM said the contractor, Sunray Woodcraft Construction, has been instructed to stop all lifting activities on the premises.
“As a general safety measure, lifting equipment and supporting structures must be properly designed, installed and inspected,” added the ministry.
The accident occurred at a worksite where the former Maritime Experiential Museum was located, said a spokesperson for Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). The museum was closed in March 2020 to facilitate the expansion of the S.E.A. Aquarium.
