2 workers killed at Chiang Rai Rajabhat University construction site

Chief engineer charged with negligence

Staff reporters

Two construction workers were killed and two more severely injured when the scaffolding they were working on collapsed at the site of the new international conference building under construction at Chiang Rai Rajabhat University, Tuesday afternoon, November 10.

Pol. Capt. Peerapat Oonnantakat, Inspector of Ban Doo police station reported that the four workers were on the scaffolding guiding a steel beam into place over a pillar of the unfinished building when the pillar collapsed. Sak Suwannakan and a man known only as Auan died on the way to the hospital after falling 10 meters. Kandit Kason and Rattakorn Jaiprom remain in hospital with severe head and leg injuries.

Wiboon Koichoosakul, the engineer in charge of the site and partner in the construction company Chiang Rai Benjapol, said that the accident was due to strong winds which caused the beam to slip off balance and fall on the scaffolding resulting in the collapse of the scaffolding. His company has pledged full financial assistance to both the injured and the families of the deceased in covering hospital and funeral costs.

While police have charged Wiboon with causing death through negligence they continue to investigate the cause of the accident.
