The man had taken on an air-con servicing job outside working hours without the company’s knowledge.
SINGAPORE – A man sustained multiple fractures after he fell from the third floor of an industrial building on July 27 while carrying out an air-conditioner servicing job without wearing a harness.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the incident at 30 Kaki Bukit Road 3 at about 6.40pm that day. When contacted, a Ministry of Manpower spokesperson said the man was doing maintenance work on an air-conditioning unit on the facade of the building’s third floor when the incident happened. He was standing on a piece of the air-conditioner ledge’s metal grating, and fell when it gave way.
According to Gain City, the man did not use a safety harness, which is against the company’s safety protocol, and there was personal protective equipment – including a harness – in the vehicle the man had driven to the industrial building.
