YHI Corporation and its chief operating officer Ong Chin Kiong pleaded guilty to workplace safety offences and were fined $200,000 and $150,000 respectively.A company and its chief operating officer have been held accountable for a workplace incident three years ago, in which a Singaporean worker with nearly 40 years of experience at the firm fell to his death.
The warehouse was used to store automotive tyres and rims, among other products. There were 32 rows of storage racks on its ground level, each with eight tiers.Man has sex with teen, threatens her with videos of sex acts When both of them were lifted to a certain height, Mr Tay stepped on the existing metal beams of the rack to install new beams on the tier above. Goh also got out of the machine cabin to help him.
But to increase storage capacity, the company added wooden pallets of smaller dimensions to the racks. One of these wooden pallets dislodged and fell on the day of the accident. As the chief operating officer, Ong failed to ensure the rigour of safety checks and the adequacy of the safety systems in place.
Neither Mr Tay nor Goh sought the approval of the company or Ong before installing the metal beams, added the lawyers.
