balo Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I walked by the construction site just minutes after the accident happened, its near the dolphin roundabout, lots of police and ambulance already arrived. The workers did not look too happy , I wonder what they think about the safety after this ? Probably just mai pen rai and carry on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have time, check on the no LTI safe man-hours counter banner at the site entrance over the next few days and see if it's been updated. ...or if it has disappeared. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Dubai or Qatar. But here, between BKK and Pattaya, these kinds of things tend to happen with pretty alarming regularity. There was another crane collapse just the other day in BKK. And there have been others in the past year. Along with misc. building construction or demolition site collapses injuring and/or workers. And what's the result of it all? Any contractors fined or prosecuted? Any new safety regulations put in place to prevent such things for the future? Any stepped up inspections by government building inspectors. Nope, Nope and Nope. A culture of indifference when it comes to safety. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nauseus Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) RIP, I hope the others recover well. I can't see a proper lifting basket or internal lift and the crane itself looks OK. I hope they weren't all on that buckled lightweight platform-type mess. Edited October 2, 2018 by nauseus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the national sport here! You will not make many friends. LOL The slightest criticism of anything about Thailand or its people, fair or unfair by the way = 20 likes or more. The slightest objection on these reviews 1/2 likes maximum. But all the phrases of the kind "remove your pink glasses,".I.. "waited for the first Thai apologist and here it is" ... and I forget the three quarter not always polite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
