SINGAPORE — A 37-year-old worker died after he fell 20m from the roof of a condominium in the West Coast area, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said on Tuesday (May 31).


This is the third reported workplace death in about a week.


At about 10.45am on May 24, the Bangladeshi worker was performing waterproofing works on the roof of Westcove condominium located at 16 West Coast Crescent when he slipped and fell, MOM said.


He landed about 20m on the ground below and was taken to National University Hospital, where he died of his injuries shortly after that.


The occupier and employer is RJ Contract, the ministry said, adding that it is investigating the accident and has instructed the occupier to stop all work activities within the premises.

"As a general safety measure, every means by which a worker may fall from height (for example, open sides, openings and fragile surfaces) should be identified and guarded or covered. In addition, workers should be equipped with safety equipment to prevent falls."

Westcove condo? That is a condo that's not very tall. It's next to the Japanese senior high school and not far from West Coast Park's McDonalds.

If you have to die from falling off a condo roof, at least do it from an impressive height, and go out with a bang.

I think the deaths are linked to paranormal activities. It's just too fucking creepy to have three fatal accidents at the same place within such a short period.
