Mr Isalm Robiul was crushed by the 2,750kg bundle of rebars, which left him with fatal internal injuries.
SINGAPORE: A foreign worker who died after a bundle of rebars fell on him at a construction site for a HomeTeamNS clubhouse had been using an unapproved rigging method, a coroner's court has found.
He leaves behind his wife and three daughters, according to non-profit organisation ItsRainingRaincoats, which focuses on migrant workers in Singapore.Mr Robiul stayed at Sungei Tengah Lodge and was employed as a construction worker by Chin Leong Building Construction. The lifting team used an approved rigging method that used a four-legged chain sling to rig the bundles. Each leg of the chain sling could lift 1,500kg, and if all four legs were used, a maximum of 6,000kg could be lifted.
One of the bundling wires of the accident bundle had snapped, and the bundle collapsed on top of Mr Robiul. Mr Robiul had also been observed to use an unsafe rigging method to lift rebars on at least one occasion before the day of the accident.
