Diver dies after getting entangled with boat propeller; MOM investigating

The Ministry of Manpower ( MOM) announced on Wednesday ( Jun 19 ) that it was looking into a fatal workplace accident in which a diver died after getting entangled with a boat propeller. &nbsp,

The affair took place&nbsp, at about 2.10pm on Tuesday at the northeast anchor, along Marina South Pier. &nbsp,

A 22-year-old Malaysian employee was cleaning a ship’s deck when he got tangled with one of the shafts of the supporting dive boat, the department said in response to CNA inquiries. &nbsp,

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it received&nbsp, a call for assistance at about 2.15pm.

The employer was then transported to Singapore General Hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. &nbsp,

In a split speech, the authorities said based on initial studies, no foul play is suspected and that investigations are ongoing. &nbsp,

As a general safety measure, MOM pointed out that all established commercial diving standards must be followed, including surface-supplied diving equipment and commercial self-contained underwater breathing apparatus ( CSCUBA ).

These tools and tools facilitate coordination and connection between fishermen and bosses during activities. Commercial diving activities should not be conducted on outdoor SCUBA.

CNA has contacted the farmer’s company, &nbsp, Tumble- Marine Services, for more information. The Manpower Ministry has mandated that the business cease all scuba diving actions.
