"Bangladeshi worker killed by steel beam in Tuas warehouse had daughter, 10, and baby boy: Cousin,"

A Bangladeshi worker died on Feb 26 after he was struck on the head by a steel beam.

It happened while he was repairing a cargo lift at a warehouse in Tuas South owned by offshore and marine company Seatrium...

The police, who were alerted at about 4.50pm, said Mr Khan was found motionless. A copy of his death certificate seen by The Straits Times lists the cause of death as extensive cranio-cerebral injuries, which means injuries to both the skull and brain.

MOM said Mr Khan was employed by a company named Gylet Project (S). The company managing the lift repair work at the Seatrium warehouse is Gylet Lift (M&S)...

MOM said it is investigating, and Gylet Lift (M&S) has been told to stop all lift maintenance work.

“As a general safety measure, employers and contractors must assess the stability of the structure and adequately prop or support all potentially unstable parts before dismantling it,” the ministry added.

The police said no foul play is suspected...

“The safety and well-being of everyone on our site is of paramount importance to us, and we are conducting a thorough investigation of this incident,” [Seatrium] added. “Out of respect for the family and the ongoing investigation, we are unable to provide further details.”

ST has contacted Gylet Elevator for comment.

This is the third fatal workplace accident to be reported in the media so far in 2025...
