10 Workers Plunge To Their Death In Makati Building Construction! What the??? Such a terrible accident. Most probably due to some kind of negligence. Not following safety regulations, standards or what. Nobody knows for sure yet. What we do know is 10 workers died instantly as they fell to their doom 25 floors down. They were installing glass windows and they were on the way to lunch. That’s what the report said in the various newspapers.
Lately I’d been using a corporate notebook with the safety slogan of Goal Zero: Comply, Intervine, Respect, working together to achieve Goal Zero (zero accidents). Then described are the rules that save lives.
I wonder what kind of rules, briefing, preparation and equipment inspection were involved in this accident. Whatever they were, they weren’t enough. This is horrible, this is very bad.
