Worker dies after falling at Jurong Region Line construction site; stop-work order issued

The worker was employed by Leze Construction, a subsidiary to a sub-contractor of main contractor Daewoo-Yongnam Joint Venture, said LTA, which is the project developer.

“We are deeply saddened by this incident, and extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased worker. We are working with the contractors to provide them with support and assistance,” said LTA.

It added that it takes a serious view of all safety incidents, and that work-at-height safety procedures are established at its worksites.

LTA said it is supporting MOM on investigations into the incident.

MOM said workers performing work at height must maintain “100 per cent tie-off” at all times, and anchor their safety harnesses to independent and secure points.
