kuenselonline � Blog Archive � Second worksite accident in two weeks: The expat worker, who fell four floors, did not have on any protective gear
Work-Related Mishaps: A 40-year-old expatriate construction worker is recovering at the Thimphu referral hospital from multiple injuries suffered in a fall at a construction site in Lungtenphug.
The incident occurred at around pm last week, when workers at the site were plastering the walls of a four-storied building under construction.
The worker, who slipped and fell from a verandah on the fourth storey while plastering the wall, was not wearing any protective gear, such as a hardhat, harness or boots, that became mandatory from October 1 in keeping with the occupational health and safety (OHS) regulation.
