A Chinese worker tragically lost his life at the Rayong data centre construction site on September 3. The 36-year-old, identified as Wang Jinghong, was struck by a reversing crane lorry, also known as a rot hiab, while he was parked behind the vehicle. The heavy machinery, with its blind spots, was moving in front of the construction site in Ban Chang district.
Rescue workers and site staff had to employ a backhoe to lift the vehicle off the victim. Wang was rushed to Ban Chang Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. Witnesses claimed the driver may not have seen him due to the vehicle's blind spot. The police have questioned the lorry's driver and a work-crew supervisor, and are awaiting autopsy results to determine the exact cause of death.
They are also coordinating with the Chinese consulate to notify and inform Wang's relatives. Sub-district headman Uthai Saoman from Ban Chang stressed the need for strict safety measures within the construction site, particularly in handling large vehicles with blind spots. He called for stringent oversight by safety officers and site supervisors, and emphasized that any negligence in safety measures or supervision should be investigated openly under the law.
