The post showed several snapshots of what looks like a sewer pipe and more poignantly, the post also included a picture of a migrant worker squeezing himself into the pipe, and another image where he was covered in dirt.In the Home post, it was written that these pictures were shared by a migrant worker who had to work in a sewer pipe that was "choked by rubbish".
"Workers must not be assigned work that they are ill-equipped for, especially in hazardous environments like confined spaces. Such practices will risk workplace injuries, occupational diseases and fatalities. All workers deserve a safe and healthy working environment." Home is a Singapore-based charity founded in 2004 by the late Bridget Tan, and is dedicated to empowering and supporting migrant workers who experience abuse and exploitation.
