Containers toppled on forklift - driver survived with injuries

A 37-year-old forklift driver was hospitalized after a stack of containers toppled onto his vehicle at Singapore’s Pasir Panjang Terminal on Nov 25, 2024, at around 6:40 a.m. at the terminal’s older facility. The accident happened when the forklift, operated by the 37-year-old man, was moving a container. As the forklift reversed, a column of five stacked containers became unstable and collapsed. The top container fell directly onto the forklift’s cabin, tilting it backwards and causing the driver to fall to the ground. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was informed about the incident at 6:55 a.m. Emergency responders quickly arrived on-site and transferred the conscious worker to the National University Hospital, where he was reported to be in stable condition. The Malaysian national had suffered lacerations to his head and body. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has launched an investigation into the incident. It has instructed PSA Singapore, the terminal operator, to suspend all empty container-handling activities at Pasir Panjang Terminal. Along with the suspension, the Ministry ordered a “safety time-out” at the terminal, meaning PSA Singapore must pause its daily operations to review workplace safety protocols and operations. The company has promised to cooperate with the investigation and take the necessary steps to improve safety at the terminal.
