TANGERANG - The contractor who carried out the sheet pile construction project in Pondok Kacang Timur, Pondok Aren, South Tangerang City (Tangsel) this time used safety equipment. The goal is to prevent casualties as before.

It is known, there were 4 project workers who were buried and eventually killed one person during the normalization process of Kali Serua, in Pondok Kacang Barat, Pondok Aren, South Tangerang, last October 6.

"There is everything complete. The workers are equipped with safety equipment," said PT Cahaya Kintamani, Ruhendi Rusli when confirmed, Sunday, October 8.

He showed a photo of his worker wearing a project helmet for the safety of his workers. However, when asked further, Rudi asked to contact the South Tangerang City water resources service.

Ruhendi also did not answer the question at the scene of the incident when the witness saw the worker without using the standard safety equipment.

"My permission to focus on this," he said.

Pondok Aren Police Chief Commissioner Bambang Askar Sodiq said his party had secured the normalized project leader (pimpro) of Kali Serua at Villa Bintaro Regency, East Pondok Kacang, Pondok Aren, South Tangerang after the work accident which left one person dead.

"We have secured everything from the leadership of this project," said Bambang Askar Sodiq.

Bambang suspects that there was an element of negligence by workers at the scene. This was marked by information that there was no personal safety equipment worn while working.

"Nothing, they ignore work safety. Not equipped with supporting equipment," he said.

Bambang said that until now his party had examined a number of witnesses. He did not deny that this case is likely to have other suspects.

"Very big," he concluded.
