Resident concerned to see painter sleeping in gondola up in air outside McNair Towers
A resident of McNair Towers in Boon Keng was concerned to see a painter taking a nap in a gondola hanging high outside the building.
A Stomper shared a photo of the man sitting on a paint can with his eyes closed and his legs propped up on the railing on the gondola on Sept 30.
He slept there for half an hour, according to the resident.
"Leaving his shoes out of the lever might pose a danger caused by high-rise littering," said the Stomper.
In response to a Stomp query, a Jalan Besar Town Council spokesperson said the town council was informed of the incident on Sept 22 and has taken appropriate action against the contractor following our investigation.
"The contractor has since conducted refresher safety training and reviewed its work and rest arrangements to strengthen safety compliance." added the spokesperson.
"Safety is of the utmost importance to the town council and we thank the resident for bringing the matter to our attention."
Reacting to town council's response, the Stomper said: "I just hope that if the workers are tired, they should be able to rest in a proper area."
On July 21, two workers were rescued from a gondola outside Raffles City Tower between the 28th and 29th storeys.
