The project’s creator is LTA, and Leighton – Yongnam Joint Venture is the company that occupies the workplace. & nbsp, Royale Construction is the employer of the deceased employee.
While investigations are ongoing, MOM has halted lifting functions at the workplace.
Following the incident, all operate actions at Leighton-Yongnam Joint Venture’s North-South Corridor workplace were halted.
According to MOM,” care must be taken to avoid any component of a lifted fill from becoming entangled with any other framework.”
According to LTA, it is collaborating with the companies to help the families of the deceased guys. Additionally, they are supporting the law and MOM in their inquiries into the situations.
At the LTA Safety, Health, and Environmental Award Convention on Tuesday night, Acting Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat reported that workplace accidents at the TTA websites have increased this time.
In contrast to the 27 injuries that occurred during the same time last month, there have been 33 incidents in the first eight months of 2023. The two new dangerous accidents at two LTA jobsites, he claimed, saddened him.
He continued,” We may have passed the heightened security period, but we must still exercise caution and improve our health procedures.”
