Director of firm fined $8,000 for modifying scene of fatal work accident

An operations manager at a container services firm, who was wearing slippers at work, died after rubber sheets weighing around 577kg fell on him in November 2018.
His colleague, Lim Choon Hwee, a director at Dyna-Log Singapore at the time, asked a subordinate to place a pair of safety boots near the body and remove the slippers, which were not allowed at the workplace due to safety protocols.
The subordinate did as he was told, but the act was captured by a nearby CCTV camera.
