Statement Regarding the Construction Site Accident in Bang Pho
An accident occurred at the construction site of the project managed by T. Pirakrit Co., Ltd. at 11:00 PM on April 30, 2022. Following the incident, the company promptly took action to evacuate workers from the area for their safety. Unfortunately, it was a tragic event, as initial investigations revealed that there were injuries, and one fatality was confirmed. The injured were immediately transported to the hospital, and the police were notified without delay.
Preliminary investigations indicated that the accident happened during concrete pouring. The concrete was piled up and could not be leveled in time, causing the temporary scaffolding to become unbalanced in weight distribution. This resulted in the temporary scaffolding collapsing. The company will have engineers and experts conduct further investigations to determine the cause. Initial checks found no evidence that the accident was due to structural failure of the building.
The company has strict and ongoing safety inspection processes in place for construction. After the incident, the company has coordinated efforts to contact relevant safety agencies to thoroughly investigate the facts and details surrounding the cause of the incident. Additionally, we are expediting actions to comply with safety guidelines in the area.
