On 4 November 2019, the jib of a Luffing Jib Tower Crane failed during a lifting operation at a construction worksite along Tan Tock Seng Link, near central Singapore.
On the said morning, the Luffing Jib Tower Crane (“the TC”) was lifting a bundle of scaffolding material when the jib of the TC suddenly buckled. This resulted in the load and the hook block of the TC plummeting down to the ground. The accident resulted in one fatality and an injury to another worker.
MOM has published a Learning Report on the accident. The link to the report is here: Learning Report: Tower Crane Failure
