Rescuers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) on Saturday responded to an incident at Boon Tat Link behind SGX Centre, where an industrial elevator carrying four workers was believed to have tilted to one side.

An SCDF spokesman said a call for assistance was received at 11.12am and an ambulance, a fire engine and a Red Rhino were deployed to the scene.

No one, however, was injured or conveyed to a hospital. The Straits Times understands that the workers managed to get off the platform, which was lifted about three storeys high - on their own.

A mobile crane was later seen at the site stablising the elevator.
