Who's fault is not important. Management should take responsible and knowing the 2 boys are OJT, senior staff should accompany them for guidance?

Management already got take responsibility.
Theyre holding inquiry.

Probe into SMRT deaths: Vital safety protection measures not in place

ASIAONE
Monday, Apr 25, 2016


An investigation into the deaths of two SMRT trainee staff members on March 22 has found that the incident could have been avoided if safety measures had been put in place.


In a statement, the rail operator said that before a work team is allowed onto the track, a speed limit must be set to ensure that no train enters the track and watchmen must be deployed to look out for approaching trains and provide early warning to the work team.

SMRT said that an accident review panel formed determined that this "vital safety protection measure was not applied and that the effectiveness of such protection before entry into the work site was no ensure as required under existing procedure".

This directly caused the accident which led to the deaths of Nasrulhudin Najumudin, 22, and Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, 24, who were part of a 15-man team who went down to the track to investigate a reported alarm from a conditioning monitoring device for signalling equipment.

The incident, which took place near Pasir Ris MRT station led to the suspension of trains services on the East-West Line between Tanah Merah and Pasir Ris stations for more than two hours.

SINGAPORE - An SMRT train was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm today afternoon (May 11), causing train service from Yishun to Yio Chu Kang stations on the North-South Line to be disrupted for over 40 minutes.

SMRT said in its initial tweets, starting at about 4pm, that the train service was disrupted due to "train fault".

Lightning strikes 'won't hurt commuters'

The steel frame of an MRT train keeps commuters inside safe from lightning strikes, and is like the protection offered when one is inside a car or an aeroplane, said experts.

Hence, a lightning strike, which was suspected to have crippled an SMRT train during a heavy thunderstorm on Wednesday afternoon, would not be dangerous to passengers inside the train.

SMRT did not confirm if the train was hit and said only that lightning struck in a location between Yio Chu Kang and Khatib stations along the North-South Line. The affected train had to be pushed to a station by another, and no one was hurt.

Professor Liew Ah Choy from the National University of Singapore's electrical and computer engineering department said there is no significant voltage difference - which causes electrocution - in a metallic enclosure such as a train cabin when lightning strikes.

Prof Liew said the steel frame of the train rises in voltage during a strike, and the current would flow around the metallic walls of the train car. "In the process of doing so, because the wall is electrically conducting, there is very little voltage difference generated," he explained.

Khaw: MRT to emulate Taipei's metro reliability

SINGAPORE'S rail system has lost its "mojo" but it is working hard to regain its earlier standing, said Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan yesterday.

Lauding the Taipei metro system for its reliability, Mr Khaw urged rail operators SBS Transit and SMRT to emulate its example.


He noted that rail staff from the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC) - which was formed in 1996 - had in its early years visited Singapore to study the MRT, which began operations in 1987.

"We were then an exemplary MRT player and a subject of study," he said in a speech at a forum on rail infrastructure maintenance.

"Unfortunately, maybe due to complacency or distracted management attention, we lost our earlier standing. I prefer to use the word, we lost our mojo. Let's work hard to regain our mojo."
