Talk so much about work safety. I am see many unsafe activities at the construction sites. MOM was informed, yet unsafe activities continued! For example, workers working in the dark (no lighting at all) together with heavy equipment.
Why are these unsafe activities happening?
Why talk so much? Just look at the national safety level regarding high-rise air-conditioning installation and servicing. Where are the safety anchoring points for work at height for air-conditioning condenser mounting that are at the side of buildings, including HDB flats?
Such lack of work safety is obvious. Everyone is aware, from the workers all the way to the ministries and those very top people.
But does anyone care?
