Man falls 15 metres into incinerator collection point
SINGAPORE: A waste collector miraculously escaped serious injury after falling into a rubbish collection area piled with refuse several stories high.
The man, in his mid—40’s, was emptying rubbish at the Tuas South Incineration Plant when he fell 15 metres into the collection point on Thursday.
Fortunately, his fall was cushioned by the rubbish pile.
A Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) ambulance arrived just before 4pm and its crew had to be lowered into the area using the incinerator’s auxiliary hoist.
The man was conscious when rescued. He was sent to the National University Hospital where he was treated for a fractured left leg. — CNA/ir
