PEKANBARU - Riau Province Manpower Service (Disnaker) has formed an investigative team to investigate Derison Siregar (23), an oil worker who died in the oil well of the Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) working area, in West Minas Village, Siak Regency.

"The PHR has officially reported and the investigative team has summoned PHR and related parties, because the deceased is a worker from a PHR subcontractor," said Head of the Riau Provincial Manpower Service, Imron Rosyadi, quoted by Antara, Friday, January 20.

He said the incident was included in the fatality category, because the victim was only 23 years old and died from being hit by iron.

He explained that fatality was an incident where workers who were hit, fell, were hit, so his party formed a team to check work safety standards from PHR.

"We are investigating standard operating procedures, dismantling cranes like what then why the victim was hit," he also said.

Previously, sad news came from an oil well worker in the PHR working area in West Minas Village, Siak named Derison Siregar (23). The worker from Central Tapanuli, North Sumatra died while drilling oil.

"The incident began when the victim left with his partner to the location of Sumur Rig PHR in Area 5D-28 KM 33 West Minas, Wednesday (18/1)," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Siak Police Iptu Toni Prawira.

The victim was found lying down squatting, his head was on the floor table and unconscious.

"Furthermore, witness 2 named Octa ran towards the camp to pick up a stretcher. Another PT ACS employee immediately took the victim by car to the PHR clinic," said Toni as well.

The victim arrived at the PHR Clinic at 09.15 WIB. However, PHR medical personnel said the victim had died. The condition of the victim suffered a severe head injury, forehead, and right hand was broken.

Toni suspects that the cause of the work accident is suspected to be due to the release of FOSV or a full opening safety valve from the hook of a water stake. The victim was immediately taken to the funeral home and this case was handled by the Siak Police Criminal Investigation Unit.
