Construction Worker Falls from Third Floor, Severely Injured in Sattahip

A Myanmar construction worker sustained severe injuries after falling from a three-story building under construction in Bang Saray, Sattahip District, Chonburi Province.

The incident occurred near the traffic light by Chumphon Naval School. Rescue teams from the Sawangrojanasathan Foundation and medical staff from Apakorn Kiatiwong Hospital, Sattahip Naval Base, quickly responded to the scene.

At the site, rescuers found the injured worker, identified as Mr. Sun, 29, a Myanmar national, lying in critical condition. Rescue personnel administered oxygen and transported him to Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital for further treatment.

According to coworkers, Mr. Sun was dismantling construction molds near the edge of the third floor when one of the panels began to slip. He attempted to grab the panel but lost his balance and fell, landing in a patch of grass beside the building wall. Coworkers immediately called for help and moved him across the wall to a safer location while waiting for emergency services to arrive.

Authorities are investigating the incident to ensure safety measures are in place at the construction site.
