26yo maintenance engineer head crushed by loosening component, killed on the spot

[mp4005 help]

Sorry in singapore we follow the "no blame culture" and the "you die your own business" mentality.

You think we are like other nations? lol...

well, other countries you get gunned down / beheaded and life goes on.
Some countries massacre the whole village also like that. Refugees no one cares.

just hope the company helps the guy's family tie through this period and hopefully there is compensation and support for the family. i know civil service very good at this thing but not sure SMEs how they deal with such things.

Anyone feel the safety culture in Singapore is really lacking ? I have seen how workers move heavy things around in some factories and it's horrific

Asia mindset.... Want cheap fast, forgo safety.

Those who worked with angmo will know they're super kiasi when comes to industrial safety. But they will luff back say asian kum gong.

 

[Polar Bear King]

whole paragraph of nonsense.

So wear also would die
Don’t wear also would die
Wear for what?
In the end is each has own luck cannot compare. I’m sure there are engineers who never wear any helmet still work lifelong safely de.

I think the main difference is still the regulators.

In Sg you say not safe you get out of the company tomorrow.
Angmos if say not safe everyone LLST. If they complain to authorities everyone kena jialat.

No idea also. Must see if there are any regulations about it or not. Very often in factories you no need to wear safety helmets.

Bigger companies usually more important that is true, but smaller SMEs hor. You go walk around jurong area and see. Its also this old Asian mindset that do faster equal better skilled worker. So everyone want to chop chop finish to prove their capabilities. Alot take shortcuts in the end. Of course this is worker issue. But you know the boss will ask why worker A take 1 day can finish but you need to take 2 days?

You not from this industry don't know one.
You ever seen anyone working with injection moulding machines wear helmet?
Danger comes from the sides not the top.
If need to wear helmet, you think the aunties at Toyogo operating the machines will do so.?

We all not sure what really happened.

1. All work done by vendor must submit an approved risk assessment. That means all the work carry out must follow the steps stated in the risk assessment. This is required by MOM.

2. He was not working alone. Meaning there was another colleague from his company.

3. If risk assessment does not state to wear helmet then this is no need to do so.

i am not a safety expert nor familiar with that industry but risk assessment is common to all.

MOM issued a stop work order to that vendor. Their submitted RA prior to this incident will be scrutinized thoroughly.
