Another worker killed on building site<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Another worker on the Taman Anggrek Mall project
\nin West Jakarta has been killed in an on-site accident.<\/p>\n
The unidentified victim fell from the project's high-rise
\nbuilding Sunday night.<\/p>\n
On Friday one worker died and one was injured in on-site
\naccidents.<\/p>\n
Several workers have been killed since the construction
\nproject began in 1995.<\/p>\n
Media reports said the latest accident brought the death toll
\nto 19 but the project's management refused to comment.<\/p>\n
Concerned over the project's worsening situation, Fauzi
\nIbrahim, the city chairman of the All-Indonesia Workers Union,
\nyesterday urged the Department of Manpower's Jakarta office to
\ncheck all equipment used in the project.<\/p>\n
By law every developer has to set up a body to supervise
\nworker safety.<\/p>\n
Fauzi said the authorities could revoke the developer's
\nbuilding license if it did not provide the workers with safety
\nequipment, especially as there have been casualties.<\/p>\n
\"But so far I have never heard any company having its license
\nrevoked for negligence,\" Fauzi said.<\/p>\n
Deputy Governor for Social Affairs R.S. Museno said the
\ncompany must be responsible for the accidents.<\/p>\n
\"I have asked the city office of the Ministry of Manpower to
\ncheck on safety measures of the company,\" Museno said.<\/p>\n
He said worker negligence could also be the cause of
\naccidents.<\/p>\n
He urged other construction projects to examine their safety
\nmeasures. (05\/02)<\/p>",
