The surviving worker has been moved out of Ng Teng Fong General Hospital's ICU.
SINGAPORE – A second worker died on May 28 after inhaling poisonous fumes while carrying out routine tank cleaning at PUB’s Choa Chu Kang Waterworks.
They were found to have collapsed due to the inhalation of hydrogen sulphide gas while draining sludge from one of the plant’s pulsator tanks, said PUB. “We have been progressively lifting the safety timeout at worksites and plants where we are satisfied that the necessary and appropriate measures are in place,” PUB said.
Mr Mohan Naveenkumar, the deceased’s brother-in-law, said Mr Sivaraman had planned to visit Gardens by the Bay with his family after work on the day of the incident.
