A young construction worker sustained injuries after falling from the second floor of a building he was working on.

 

Sawang Boriboon rescuers assisted a Thai 19-year-old worker, Mr. Sittisak Boonthong, on Sunday, March 19th, after he had fallen from a building in Pattaya’s Soi Thung Klom Tan Man 20. The man is a welder and was working on the second floor of the house when he accidentally fell.

 

Sittisak suffered a broken left arm and a swollen face. The rescuers provided first aid to him before rushing him to a nearby hospital. His co-workers told local media that the man fell onto a steel frame before hitting the ground. The worker is currently under medical attention at Banglamung Hospital.

If there are very few site safety protocols enforced you will have "accidents". Thank goodness that this young chap was only 2 floors up.

Always sounds far worse when using the silly American term for 1st floor or upstairs !

Take away the pain but leave the swelling.  Punchline from the joke about a bee sting on the genitals.
