-- ST PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI SINGAPORE : A worker died at a construction site on May 14 after he was hit by a concrete slab in the Bukit Timah area. The incident happened at around 1.30pm at 250A Turf Club Road, said the Ministry of Manpower on May 17 in response to queries. A 23-year-old man was found motionless, said the police, and paramedics from the Singapore Civil Defence Force pronounced him dead at the scene.
It is believed that construction work on the Cross Island MRT line is underway at the site. An MOM spokesperson said that the victim was a banksman – someone who guides the movement of large vehicles or heavy machinery – employed by Koh Kock Leong Construction.
“As a general safety measure, the hacking and removal of any temporary concrete section must be conducted in a controlled manner, and exclusion zones must be strictly enforced,” said MOM. It added that while banksmen safeguard others by monitoring hazards and controlling access, they must also ensure that they do not position themselves within potential danger zones. The occupier of the site, STECS-Obayashi CR203 Joint Venture, has been told to stop all excavation work there, said MOM.
