At around noon on October 15, rescue workers from Sawang Rojanatham Sathan Foundation were notified of a serious incident involving a person falling from height at the Sattahip District Office, located in Sattahip Subdistrict, Chonburi Province. A rescue team, along with medics from Apakorn Kiattiwong Hospital, Sattahip Naval Base, was immediately dispatched to the scene.

 

 


Upon arrival at the three-story building, where solar panels were being installed on the roof, responders found a 19-year-old worker laying severely injured on the ground below. The casualty had multiple injuries and was bleeding from his mouth and nose.
 

He was surrounded by onlookers, including local officials and members of the public. Responders quickly administered first aid, but due to the critical nature of his injuries, the rescue team rushed him to Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital for urgent treatment.

 

Witnesses and coworkers reported that the injured man had been working to install solar panels on the rooftop. At the time of the incident, heavy rain began to fall, which likely caused him to slip and he was unable to grip the safety rope, leading to the tragic fall.

 

Picture from responders.

Safety rope ?? are these bloody idiots, why was the guy not wearing fall protection  do these company's know anything about safety  The Sattahip District Office,should have ensured the workers safety whether  he was a contractor or not.

Its not rocket science Risk assessment  Identify the hazard slip, trip, fall, 

remove the hazard  Wear Appropriate Clothing and Footwear. ...

Assess Weather Conditions. ...

Secure the Tools You'll Use. ...

Always Have Another Person Present. ...

Assess Roof Condition. ...

Use a Proper Roof Ladder (Not a Wooden Ladder) ...

Wear a Roof Harness. ...

Walk With Your Arms Out on a Steep Roof.
