A 30 year old worker from Myanmar was crushed to death in an accident in a service lift in Soi Charoen Krung 109 yesterday.

 

Wat Phrayakrai police, medics and Ruam Katanyu rescue personnel rushed to the Chelsea Care Co. Ltd where they found Kyaw Sue Khalane dead on the fourth floor of the five story building.

 

Thai Rath said that the lift shaft was only protected by a hand operated sliding door.

 

The victim leaned and put his head into the shaft just at the moment that the lift was coming from above. He got trapped and died of suffocation, they said.

 

The police are set to call all those involved in for an investigation as to what exactly happened.

 And when was this lift last inspected and why is it allowed to operate with such inherent dangers?

 

And who (what gov't agency) is responsible for suck checking? Are they doing their job?

 

Is there a maintenance contract? Is it compulsory to have a maintenance contract? 

 

 

He probably missed to use the state of the art Thai safety precaution outfits:

      

R.I.P. and condolences to his family.

Don't ask stupid questions. He was Burmese. Mai pen rai. Plenty more where they come from. RIP

No procedures, no lock out systems, no idea really.

 

RIP to another victim of systemic safety failures
