Please note that a worker was fatally injured yesterday on a project in Hong Kong. The details need to be confirmed but it seems that the ‘rigger’ was trapped between a lifting cage and the cab of a crane-truck during a lifting operation.
The case has been reported in local media (including the newspaper report attached from today). Note: I cannot confirm at this time if the details in this report are accurate.
The deceased worked for a subcontractor to the JV managing the project. The JV is made up of Dragages HK (Bouygues TP) 40%, China Harbour Engineering 40% & VSL Hong Kong 20%.
The accident happened near pier construction works.
