SINGAPORE: A 35-year-old construction worker from China was tragically killed after being struck by a reversing dump truck at a construction site in Changi on 28 August 2024. The fatal accident occurred at approximately 5.50 pm at the junction of Tanah Merah Coast Road and Changi East Drive.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) responded to the incident at around 6.05 pm, and upon arrival, paramedics pronounced the worker dead at the scene.
The deceased was employed by Hua Hao Development, and the construction site was managed by Huationg Contractor Pte Ltd.
Following the incident, a 36-year-old man was arrested by the police for allegedly causing death by a rash or negligent act. The police have stated that investigations are ongoing.
According to local media sources, the aftermath of the accident was described as particularly horrific.
In response to the tragedy, the contractor reportedly held a meeting with all employees on the morning of 29 August to emphasize the importance of safety at the worksite.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) confirmed the worker’s identity and employer, adding that they are currently investigating the incident.
MOM also highlighted the necessity of implementing a traffic management plan to ensure the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians within worksites, including the deployment of a trained banksman to guide reversing vehicles when necessary.
This accident adds to the ongoing concern regarding workplace safety in Singapore.
There were 36 fatal workplace accidents in 2023, slightly down from 46 in 2022 and comparable to the 37 recorded in 2021.

When voters are deemed as performing clowns, don’t need to be respected, fed with chicken wings, candies, replaced by foreign trash – how do expect foreign trash, whose intention likely to make money from PAP Island to be treated as. Is this the reality.

A Class 4 Large truck also broke a electronic Gantry belonging to a industrial estate at 3 AMK st62 . There was strong foul smell of burnt electronics due to the orange Gantry cash card insert machine for the carpark. Dam hilarious. I saw it broke first hand 🤣 I looked at the truck driver, an Indian, and he smiled at me as if it’s a small issue or maybe he already knew he will be sacked.🤭
