A site supervisor said all sub-contractors must convene a committee meeting every month to review the site safety while all on-site workers must attend weekly briefings on safety precautions.
"Site supervisors must check the safety of construction site every day. This is our job and duty."
He said most of the workers at construction sites are inexperienced foreign workers and as such, safety briefings are particularly important to ensure that they are aware of all the safety aspects.
"We must keep reminding these workers to make sure they remember every bit about site safety."
An engineer responsible for the LRT construction beside Summit Hotel in USJ told Sin Chew Daily the accident along the old Subang Airport Road could have been due to the sub-contractor not regularly briefing the workers on safety issues.
"I think this is the likely reason. As a matter of fact, such accidents are very rare, probably only once in a year."
A similar accident took place not far away on March 29 last year, killing a 34-year-old assistant manager.
Meanwhile, the main contractor of the Kelana Jaya LRT extension project TRC Synergy has tendered an apology to the couple injured in the recent accident.
The company's executive chairman Datuk Seri Sufri bin Hj Mohd Zin pointed out in a statement that the company was concerned about the causes for the accident as well as investigation works.
TRC Synergy will cooperate with Prasarana and DOSH in the investigation.
TRC Synergy Bhd's wholly-owned unit, Trans Resources Corp Sdn Bhd, has bagged a RM191m contract from the Public Works Department. The contract, which it accepted on July 4, was to construct and complete the proposed refurbishment and upgrading works for the Phase 2B of the Parliament House.(Bernama)
