Unchecked pressure-system valves: supervisor jailed

MOM publication date:

What the release reports

Muhammed Noredzuan Bin Othman received four months for negligence causing a worker’s death during January 2016 pipe repairs.

Details and conditions

He endorsed a test checklist without the required line walk. A wrongly positioned valve trapped pressurised gas, ejecting a clamp connector into the worker.

Context and follow-up

Generco Engineering had separately been fined S$180,000. The case shows that signing a checklist cannot replace physically checking test boundaries and valve positions before pressure work.
