2 firms fined for safety lapses
By Mavis Toh
TWO construction companies have been fined a total of $96,000 for worksite safety violations, which, in one case, resulted in one worker being injured.
The more severe of the two incidents happened on Oct 13 last year, when construction worker Ji Zhi Li fell while taking measurements at a staircase landing at a Sentosa Cove worksite.
Xuyi Building Engineering was on Tuesday fined $60,000 for not taking adequate measures to prevent falls at the worksite.
Investigations showed that while the worker was equipped with a safety belt, there were no anchor points or lifelines provided to secure the belt. There were also no barriers to prevent falls.
The company was charged under the Workplace Safety and Health Act for inadequate supervision and failing to provide proper fall protection measures, among other offences.
In a separate case, construction company Ho Pak Kim Realty was fined $36,000 last week for safety violations found during inspections by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) at a Braddell Road worksite.
