Confined-tank explosion: company fined S$220,000

MOM publication date:

What the release reports

Environmental Landscape was fined S$220,000 after three workers suffered burns cleaning an underground tank in 2016.

Details and conditions

Switching on a floodlight sparked an explosion. No risk assessment identified gas hazards, workers lacked confined-space training, and emergency procedures were absent.

Context and follow-up

The person directing the work was separately charged. Atmospheric testing, competent supervision, suitable equipment and rescue arrangements are central; the company’s conviction and that individual’s charge status must remain distinct.
