Fatal LAL Accident In Trengganu !!!

Dear all,

I received a call from one of my true blog reader who wanted me to report on this fatal accident where a rich man with many successful BHs died after falling thru the bird's LAL (Lubang Antara Lantai).

Please read this email:

Harry,

In Terengganu yesterday (15th August), a retired businessman fell to his untimely death after falling into his LAL from the 3rd floor. The LAL was formely where the lift used to be.

He broke both his legs and later succumbed to internal injuries.

Many a time, people take safety for granted. In can never be emphasized enough that safety should be the FIRST priority. Hence, would appreciate if you could post this in your blog.

1. Never enter BH alone. Always use the buddy system.
2. All voids should have some kind of a barricade, preferably with metal of wooden bars to prevent accidental access
3. Lighting, using a low-wattage or dimmed bulb where death traps are present is a must and must be switched on during visits.
4. For staircases, hand rails must be installed.
5. Never use speaker cables as AC power supply cables to minimize potential electrocution ( I have seen this done many times)
6. When joining electric wires, make sure they are properly insulated with waterproofing tape where water is present

Above are only a few suggestions. More can be added to the list.

SAFETY is always number ONE.

Good job and keep up your blog.

Regards,

Andy

I feel sad about his news and there is no reason why you should die by silly mistakes of not putting proper protection in your BHs.

Make safety as one of your most important part of any BH that you design.
