SINGAPORE: A 53-year-old Singaporean man died following a workplace accident at a warehouse last Thursday , the fourth workplace fatality so far this year.
The accident, which occurred at about 2.15pm at 61 Alexandra Terrace Harbour Link Complex, involved three men who had been unloading a shipment of glass doors from a shipping container, the Ministry of Manpower said in a statement on Wednesday.Two workers were injured and taken to the National University Hospital, where the 53-year-old man later died of his injuries.
According to the ministry, glass sheets and glass panels should be bundled in upright positions within wooden crates when being transported in shipping containers. “For safe unloading, forklifts or purpose-built telescopic handlers should be used,” it said. “If the items are to be manually shifted, proper means of support must be provided to prevent other items within the container from toppling.”
