Tragic, Two Workers Buried by Land at Project SGAR, One Died
On Sunday, August 4 2024, a heartbreaking work accident occurred in the Smelter Grade Alumina Refinery (SGAR) construction area in Bukit Batu, Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan. The accident happened to two PT CCI project workers who were carrying out their duties on one of the National Strategic Projects (PSN).
This tragic incident resulted in Irhamsyah, a worker from East Aceh, losing his life. Meanwhile, his colleague, Tanjung Rianto, a resident of Tangerang, managed to survive but is still under medical treatment.
Mempawah Police Chief, AKBP Sudarsono, through Sungai Kunyit Police Chief, Ipda Dian Kristianto, explained that this accident occurred at around 10.30 WIB. The chronology of the incident began when PT CCI heavy equipment operator, Suwarno, was digging a hole 4 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2.5 meters deep for pipe installation. After the hole had been dug, the two workers went down to take measurements. Suddenly, water came out of the right side of the earthen wall, causing the ground above to collapse and crushing the two workers.
“At that time, the heavy equipment operator immediately tried to help by digging up the soil that was burying the two workers,” explained Ipda Dian Kristianto. After the rescue attempt, both of them were immediately given medical assistance by the team in the field and taken to the Rubini Mempawah Regional Hospital.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Irhamsyah was declared dead, while Tanjung Rianto was referred to Abdul Aziz Singkawang Regional Hospital for further treatment. On Monday, August 5 afternoon, Irhamsyah’s body was returned to his hometown in East Aceh.
This work accident reminds us of the importance of implementing strict safety standards in every construction project.
