snoop1130 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Ouch! Worker impales himself on railings in Phayao A municipal worker fixing some electrics fell down a ladder onto railings on Friday afternoon. Twenty two year old Pathomporn Pongkaset had to be supported by bystanders before foundation medics arrived on the scene. A spike from the railing had gone clean through his foot. Cutting equipment was used to free him before he was taken to hospital. He was putting up lights ahead of a show to be held at the municipal offices in Phayao in the north of Thailand.

djayz Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Ouch! The lack of safety standards here in this day and age is simply unacceptable. If I had a Baht for every time I saw somebody standing on a wobbly ladder, chair, barrel, etc. I'd be a millionaire by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
