Ban Bueng/Chonburi-  A 39-year old construction worker fell from the roof of a two-story building in Ban Bueng yesterday, March 16th, 2022, that was under assembly following a loud blast that is still under investigation.

 

Rescuers from Ban Bueng Hospital rushed to give CPR to Min Saw, the 39-year-old Burmese construction worker, who fell from a commercial building in the Ban Bueng subdistrict of Chonburi where he was working. Min Saw, unconscious, was reportedly in a severe condition with his pulse gradually weakening before he was hospitalized.

 

According to a witness and good Samaritan who is credited with saving Min’s life, Mr. Narongchai Chetthanon, who happened to be near the accident scene, stated that he heard a loud blast coming from the scene. After arriving, he saw that Min Saw had fallen from the building and his pulse had stopped, so Mr. Narongchai decided to perform CPR on him before sending him to a nearby hospital.

Another expendable Burmese worker authorities will sweep this under the rug nothing to see here but was he wearing a mask so sad

Nice to see the scaffolding [sticks] making it all the way up to the roof so no-one can slide off, and the worker wearing a safety harness.

Just one in long time, amazing, considering the scaffolds and not wearing safety harness. 

I have seen in Thailand and was amazed,

Bamboo scaffold, guy working on height without harness, one hand on scaffold and other and doing his work.

Feet spread over 2 bamboo scaffold holders. I was flabbergasted

 

But it can be more worse. In Qatar 6500 people died building football stadiums in 10 year time.

That is every day 2 people died. 

All though there is a dispute about the numbers.
