A CONSTRUCTION company was fined $100,000 on Friday over a fatal accident at Marina Bay Sands integrated resort project early last year.

A representative of Lian Beng Construction, the occupier of the worksite, pleaded guilty on its behalf to failing to ensure that the workplace was safe and without risks to every person within the premises on Jan 16 last year.

The company had failed to ensure that a brick wall was not backfilled, which resulted in the death of China construction worker Xie Xu Han, 39, that day.
