Lifting accident at construction site

There seemed to be a lack of safety

I was sent this video from a client recently. It was an accident where a electric box, or at least I think it is, was being lifted by a crane. The accident looks like it happened in Singapore? Anyway, the incident happened towards the end of the video where the harness seemed to have snapped off from the hook. The metal box came crashing down unceremoniously.

The first thoughts that came to me while watching this video was a thorough lack of supervision and safety measures. Apart from the metal box being supported by a crane, I would have thought there needs to be some other ropes supporting the box? Also, why was there not better planning than to try to insert this box through such a small opening?

No matter how, construction is risky business. I urge business owners to look into adequate safety measures for the work sites, and also discuss relevant business insurance schemes available out there with their trusted finance advisory representative. Better to be safe than sorry.
