In America, there were 148,000 buggy-
related injuries from 1990 to 2006 >23cases/day1
Some of the main causes were overturn,
falling/jumping off, collision with another
vehicle, struck by moving buggy.
Out of all these, falling/jumping off the buggy
was the most common cause of injury. Fatal cases
are very rare.
Unfortunately, we have one such case in Singapore

            Accident Advisory: Worker fell from moving vehicle

                                                                                                             1. Safe Vehicle
            On 11 April 2018, a worker was travelling in a buggy cart within a park to get to her work
            area. As the driver of the buggy cart drove along a bend, the worker fell off the buggy
            cart and hit her head on the footpath. The injured worker was conveyed to the hospital
            but subsequently succumbed to her injury.

                                                                                                             2. Safe Driver

                                                                                                             3. Safe Passenger
            Recommendations
            Persons in control of similar workplaces and work activities such as occupiers and
            employers are advised to consider the following risk control measures to prevent similar
            accidents:

            Safe vehicle
            • Consider implementing speed limit for buggy cart operation using speed limiting
              devices. Design the speed limiting device to be tamper-proof and accessible
              only by authorised personnel.
            • Provide seat belts for every seat in the buggy cart and perform regular checks
               to ensure that they are fit for use. Seat belts should be worn by the driver and all
               the passengers.
            • Put up warning notices inside the buggy cart to alert passengers of the possible
               dangers and the correct safety practice to be followed.

            Safe driver
            • Allow only trained and authorised personnel to drive a buggy cart.
            • Insert into the safe work procedure that drivers are to carry out daily vehicle
             inspection at the start of each work day before operating the buggy cart.

                                                                                                                                 29
