MOM said its investigations revealed that the company failed to ensure Mr Ali had relevant training and instructions to install lifelines, and did not ensure that Mr Ali was properly supervised when he was tightening the lifelines at height.

The ministry also found that the company failed to properly consider the hazards relating to installation of lifelines, and the health and safety risks posed by this work activity. “In the case of EC Builders Pte Ltd, there was a lack of basic safety precautions and respect for safety standards and requirements.

Workers must also keep a lookout for themselves and their co-workers,” said the ministry.Get The New Paper on your phone with the free TNP app.
