was described as"perfunctory, simplistic and inadequate", a district court heard on Monday .
On the first day of his trial on Monday, the court heard that the Singaporean allegedly failed to ensure that an adequate risk assessment was conducted in respect of the operations of the laboratory. On Monday, Ministry of Manpower prosecutor Samuel Chua told the court that on Nov 7, 2011, a risk assessment was conducted for an analysis of flammable gases in the laboratory. It was not mentioned who conducted it.
He also said that risk control measures to address the work activities and their hazards ought to have included items such as the proper tracking of RVAs as well as their proper identification and labelling.
