Response from BBG Electrical Engineering regarding the death of a migrant worker on-site in Singapore:

It is with deep sadness that we report a workplace fatality at one of our worksites on Sunday, October 22, 2023 – the very first incident of its kind in BBG Electrical Engineering history.

Due to ongoing Ministry of Manpower and police investigations, we cannot provide detailed information at this time.

However, we can note that the toolbox meeting on the morning of October 22 scheduled rooftop construction work for that day, and further work was done by supervisor as he discussed with senior Supervisor of the company and proceeded without management knowledge or approval. Investigations have yet to conclude why the worker team did not follow established procedures on that afternoon.

We are in touch with the worker's family, both directly and via a former staff now living in Bangladesh. I have covered the cost for the worker's brother-in-law to accompany his body for repatriation and burial. BBG will ensure the well-being of the deceased worker's children for as long as possible.

In response, we have implemented a safety time-out at all current project sites. We are thoroughly reviewing safety management procedures.

Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.
