[Sg] - Singaporean female engineer died after falling seven storeys after stepping on false ceiling panel which gave way

[UltimaOnline]

A Singaporean engineer has died after falling seven storeys while doing maintenance work at office building CapitaSpring on Friday (April 8).

The 48-year-old woman was working on the maintenance level above the 16th floor of the building when she stepped on a false ceiling panel.

The panel gave way under her weight and caused her to fall about 30m, landing on the ninth floor, said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call for assistance at about 10.55am on Friday. The engineer was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.

MOM said the woman was an employee of Dragages Singapore, and the site occupier is Ascott International Management, a wholly-owned business unit of CapitaLand, which is the co-owner and project developer for CapitaSpring.

CapitaSpring is a 51-storey integrated development in Raffles Place that was completed last year. It houses a 299-unit serviced residence under the Citadines brand name owned by Ascott.

MOM said it is investigating the accident, and has instructed Ascott to stop all access to the maintenance level.

"As a general safety measure, fragile surfaces should be marked clearly and conspicuously to warn of the risk of falling from height," said the spokesman.

Oh shit, that swanky new building will be haunted now. It's next to the Yue Hai Ching temple. Previously it was the Golden Shoe Carpark.

The interior is very beautiful, there's a public area.

I assume its standard practice to step on false ceiling and she was unlucky one gave way.

It is an honorable death. Roman engineers used to stand under the arches they were building as the capstone is finally laid. We should demand our ministers to do the same.

Josephine Teo should die like that, it will be best if one of those tree trunks impale her hole.

The problem lies with MOM OSH Inspectorate. Like safe distancing officers, they will go to cosy places like shopping malls and disturb people and not hot and tough locations. MOM OSH Inspectorates raid and bully SMEs without prior notices up to twice a year, and when there is nothing to highlight, they tell SMEs nonsense such putting up ugly posters, shifting first aid boxes, submit risk assessments, getting consultants for excessive use of keyboards, etc.

These people don't dare to disturb big companies, you don't see them raiding Capitaland, DBS, Zouk or Micron right? and the inspectors also lazy construction sites or shipyards because it is hot and a lot to follow-up.

They tend to procrastinate and not at where they are needed.

Is this why they do not allow visitors to go there on weekends? Maybe her ghost is still lingering around? Strange sounds were also heard on the upper floor of the CapitaSpring hawker centre.
