Photo: Matichon BANGKOK — Metal scaffolding came raining down on a busy intersection Sunday night from an elevated rail station being built in the capital’s Bangkok Noi district. Charan Sanitwong Road was closed several hours after metal scaffolding dropped from the future site of MRT Bang Khun Non, a future station on the western Blue Line extension. The debris fell at about 8pm and landed in three pieces in the middle of the intersection. No injuries were reported.

Jonmarleesco Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Who is (ir)responsible for contracting these morons? Yet no doubt there is the usual notice stuck somewhere, ticking off the days of no accidents. What a farce those pieces of paper are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkleMoooose Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm not sure why this is news, after all a spokesman for the contractor said last week that it was normal for tools and debris to fall from construction sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthless unless enforced by constant Audits on OHS policies and procedures and Directors enforce such procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afaik section 44 was only used to speed up the missing link between bang sue and tao poon. And it didn't help at all! Were the other lines also forced to speed up ?
