A Bangladeshi worker fell to his death while performing waterproofing work on the roof of a condominium at 16 West Coast Crescent on May 24.
The man, 37, who fell about 20m to the ground, was rushed to National University Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, the Ministry of Manpower said in response to The Straits Times' queries on Monday . MOM said the worker's employer, RJ Contract, is also the occupier of the unit, where the incident happened at 10.45am.
It is investigating the accident and has instructed the waterproofing firm to stop all work activities that require employees to be elevated. "As a general safety measure, every means by which a worker may fall from height should be identified and guarded or covered. In addition, workers should be equipped with safety equipment to prevent falls," the ministry added in its statement to ST.
