⚡ Lightning Doesn't Give a Warning Twice – Safety Must Come First

The recent lightning fatality is a reminder that weather hazards should never be underestimated.

In Singapore, thunderstorms can develop very quickly. As supervisors and safety personnel, we should always be prepared to act.

✅ Stop all outdoor and work-at-height activities once thunder is heard or a lightning warning is issued.

✅ Move workers to a proper building or enclosed vehicle. Avoid sheltering under trees or temporary structures.

✅ Suspend lifting operations involving tower cranes, mobile cranes and other exposed equipment.

✅ Resume work only when it is safe to do so, following your company's weather monitoring and stop-work procedures.

At the end of the day, production can wait—but lives cannot.

Safety isn't just about complying with procedures; it's about making the right decision at the right time. Stay safe everyone. 🦺⚡
