SINGAPORE – A man working on a tower crane found himself suspended 40m up and unable to head down to safety, after injuring his leg in mid-air.
When alerted to the incident at a How Sun Drive construction site on Monday (Sept 7) at 4.25pm, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) sent in a team of firefighters and members of its elite division, the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (Dart) to rescue the worker.
Four Dart specialists scaled a cat ladder to access the crane, before traversing across its narrow arm to reach the injured man, SCDF said on Facebook on Tuesday.
The team secured themselves in place and set up a lowering system with ropes and pulleys.
One of the Dart specialists, who was cross-trained as an emergency medical technician, treated and bandaged the man’s wound while up on the crane.
