The accident in which a part-time security officer fell into a 4m-deep pit to his death at 1-Altitude rooftop bar last year could have been avoided if safety standards had been observed, said the state coroner yesterday.
Following an inquiry into Mr Shaun Tung Mun Hon's death, State Coroner Kamala Ponnampalam said there had been safety lapses at the bar located at One Raffles Place.It was revealed during the inquiry that the opening Mr Tung, 26, fell into on June 9 last year had been earlier uncovered by workers tasked with cleaning the building's facade.
Inside the opening was a switch to operate a gondola used to clean the facade of One Raffles Place, a 63-storey building. The court had earlier heard that Mr Tung, a part-time guard, was shown the pit and briefed about it before he started his shift at the alfresco bar on the day of his death.
