Worker dies in industrial accident at Resorts World Sentosa

SINGAPORE: A worker died after an accident at a construction site at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) on Sunday (Sept 29).

Police said they were alerted to a work-related incident at 8 Sentosa Gateway around 8am.

“A 44-year-old man was found unconscious and subsequently pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defense Force medic,” police said in response to CNA’s query.

RWS said it was informed of the accident by the contractor on Sunday morning and informed that a worker had died.

The accident occurred at the site where the Maritime Experiential Museum used to be. The museum closed in 2020 to accommodate the expansion of the SEA Aquarium and is not an area closed to the public.

“The contractor and RWS are supporting the authorities in their investigation,” the RWS spokesman added.

Police added that no crime was suspected and investigations were ongoing.

CNA has contacted the Department of Labor for further information.
