A worker at the Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Inc (VEHSI) artificial island facility on the West Coast Demerara has been hospitalized with injuries after a 400-tonne crane toppled over during a load-testing operation and investigations have been launched by both the company and Ministry of Labour.
“There was an incident last evening and an investigation is ongoing,” was all that VESHI’s Public Relations person Ajay Baksh would say about the incident, when contacted yesterday by the Stabroek News.
Reached, Minister of Labour Joseph Hamilton said, “We are alerted. We are aware and there will be an investigation.”
