An all too familiar pattern with the usual tragic outcome. This time, it's a heavy machine on a steep slope. Probably no proper barricades, no exclusion zone, and no competent site control. Another “accident” chalked up to fate. The line about the family “not pursuing the matter because it was accidental” really captures the core problem in Thailand regarding workplace health and safety: no enforcement, no accountability, no deterrence, and public apathy. Whether it’s a roller sliding into a house, cranes dropping loads, or trains smashing into traffic stuck on level crossings, the story never seems to change. Just condolences, compensation, and everyone moves on until the next preventable fatality.
