Construction firm Synergy-Biz hit with fine, stop-work order for safety lapses
On Aug 25, a lorry driver from the company was involved in a fatal accident.
The 65-year-old Singaporean man was run over by a forklift while loading it onto a lorry and securing it for transportation.
MOM's inspection of the premises, which was conducted the next day, was separate to the incident, the ministry said in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Sept 27).
The safety lapses found at Synergy-Biz posed danger to workers and "could have been easily rectified", said Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad.
In one incident, electrical casing and wiring were found to not be properly insulated and in poor condition.
