Workplace safety must always be prioritised  


I REFER to the report “Scaffolding from ECRL (East Coast Rail Link) construction site hits car on MRR2” (The Star, Nov 18; online at tinyurl.com/ 5fm4jdhs).

The scaffolding (temporary steel canopy) fell onto and crushed a passing car, trapping the woman driver inside. Fortunately, she was not injured and was helped out of her car by other motorists.
