HHI Shipyard Multiple Fatality - Falling from height
After completing the morning session, the five scaffolders were going for lunch and were being lifted down in a riding basket that was designed for moving scaffolding components and erection works. At approximately 39 meters the basket hit handrails and flipped over. All 5 workers were thrown out from basket. Unfortunately, 2 workers were not using a safety harness and fell 39 meters to the ground below. The other three workers had their safety harnesses secured and were left hanging from the basket until the basket could be safely lowered to the ground
