He was employed by Keong Hong Construction, who was awarded the S$293.7 million (US$215.6 million) tender for main contract works at Tengah Plantation in January 2024. \nThe project is slated for completion in 2027.\nMOM urged contractors and workers alike to remain alert with Chinese New Year approaching, noting that the period \"typically sees companies facing time pressures to complete projects\".\n\"MOM will continue with our enhanced enforcement efforts during this period.  There must be no compromises on workplace safety at all times.\"\nThe incident is being investigated, it said.\n“As a general safety measure, employers and contractors must ensure that the outriggers of machinery are fully extended and rest on a stable, level foundation or base plates with adequate strength to ensure stability during operations,” the ministry added.\nHDB, which is the project developer, told CNA on Tuesday that it also takes a serious view of the fatal incident, and will render support and assistance to the victim's family.\n“Safety at our worksites is of utmost priority, and we are working with the building contractor to assist the authorities with their investigations on this matter”, it said, adding that it is saddened by the worker's death.\n“We will continue to work with our industry partners to strengthen workplace safety at our worksites.”","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.30.0","shortVersion":"4.30.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2501789702"}
