SINGAPORE: A safety officer and a project manager were sentenced to jail on Wednesday after a Bangladeshi worker died following a construction accident at Changi Airport more than three years ago.

On Mar 22, 2017 at about 10.50am, Bangladeshi worker Miah Salim, 43, was inside an excavation pit and erecting the formwork for the construction of the high tension cable conduit.At the time of the incident, five other workers were working with Mr Salim, who was the group leader. Lee failed to review the work method and processes for the formwork construction of the conduit and did not ensure the employer appointed a supervisor for formwork activities at the worksite.

At the worksite, the common method for constructing the formwork for the conduit was the metal module formwork and not the conventional framework, said court documents.
