MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATE 6) At least 10 workers, not 11 as posted, were killed at a construction site in Makati City when an electric gondola carrying them broke and sent them plummeting from the 28th floor to the 7th floor, according to a report on Radyo Inquirer.
Another victim has been revived but was in critical condition, the report said.
Ten were brought initially to the Ospital ng Makati in Malugay but one was transferred at the Osmak in Pembo following the 11:45 a.m. accident at the 39-story Eton Residences construction site at the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Gallardo Street, it said. Another was brought to the Makati Medical Center.
The victims, who were installing glass panels, were aboard a gondola that could hold only two passengers, said Senior Fire Officer 2 Gerzon Moncada, an investigator from the Bureau of Fire.
Investigators surmised the cables broke or the motor malfunctioned.
The construction company is CE Construction.
The Philippine National Red Cross, quoting the Makati Police Safety Assistance (Mapsa), identified the victims as Joel Abecilla, Celso Mabuting, Michael Tatlong Hari, Kevin Mabunga, Bonbon Cristobal, Rowel Perez, Vicente Piñion, William Ibañez, Jay K Legada and Jeffrey Diocado, Rommel Perez.
Rowel Perez survived the accident.
All bodies were retrieved by 1 p.m., Moncada said.
Denny Villanueva, a company driver employed at the neighboring building, said he saw the gondola plummeting.
"It dropped so fast. It was carrying around eight people. Maybe the other victims were only hit as it passed, or were crushed under. It was their break time: they were probably hitching a ride to go down for lunch," he said.
Another witness, food stall attendant Mary Ann Centro, said the crash of the gondola was so loud she thought the building had collapsed.
"People were pointing and shrieking. When I looked out the stall, I saw two bodies hanging" from the debris catcher net.
Six bodies were caught in the net. Two victims fell to the floor underneath. Three were found on the 8th floor, retriever FO1 Jomar Jumawan said.
The red gondola, a kind of elevator used at construction sites, was still hanging open on the 7th floor.
The victims had fractured limbs, bloodied heads, Jumawan said.
Only one was found conscious.
For the report, listen to Radyo Inquirer, DZIQ 990.

If the incident was due to negligence on the part of safety engineers for example, lapses to implement safety policies, rules and regulations or failures to prescribed safety gadgets for their workers then, it’s a nonconformity in the context of OHSAS 18001, 14001, and ISO 9001.

Let me tweak the scenario a little. The company has fulfilled its occupational health and safety management system requirements but despite that, at least 10 workers have died in a work-related event. The whole thing was purely an accident and there was no gross negligence on the part of the company. Is it nonconformity?

There is so little actual information and no investigative data/evidence of what happened, you are asking for speculation which can be asked of any accident/event in newspapers around the world every day.

I'm not sure why you are posting this unless it is your plan to post accidents/incidents from around the world and try to tie them to "nonconformity" in some way.

Ka Pilo,

Your country's laws may require companies to provide their workers (employees and subcontractors) a safe work environment.

Failure of the company to plan and provide a safe place to work could result in one or more of the company's directors going to jail for a long time.

This would be a major noncompliance.

A failure to plan based on the results of project safety analysis may be the system nonconformity.

My :2cents:

It is not a nonconformity under either ISO 9001 or 14001 - please do a search for threads covering work environment to catch up on this discussion.

It may be a nonconformity under OHSAS but again we would need a lot more information.

What it is is a tragic case of loss of life and an avoidable accident.

The police are continuing its investigation on a work-related incident to establish the circumstances surrounding the death of at least 10 workers. I am only interested on occupational safety side but it seems that it requires a few more details to answer my question. I don't want to preempt the investigation so I decided to put the discussions on hold for a while.
