SINGAPORE - Safety precautions and regulations are usually in place to avoid tragedies like that which befell 1-Altitude employee Shaun Tung, who fell into a 4m-deep pit and died on Sunday, observers said.
For a pit such as that on the roof of One Raffles Place, barriers and warnings would be put up, and workers warned of potential risks, they added.
