Worker dies after maintenance lift breaks, falls from 23rd floor of Intiland Tower

A maintenance worker fell to his death today after the maintenance lift he was on, which was positioned on the 23rd floor of the Intiland tower on Jalan Sudirman, broke and fell all the way down to the ground along with him.

The police identified the victim as an employee of PT Hitacindo, a company that was contracted to carry out regular maintenance on the building.

“The victim, an employee of the building’s contractor, was identified as Agus Haryadi. He was 30 years old,” said Commissioner Mustakim, head of the Crime Investigation Unit at the Tanah Abang Police, as quoted by Kompas today.

The incident occurred just before noon today. Mustaki said that the victim was trying out the maintenance lift, which had supposedly just been fixed.

The police are investigating why the maintenance lift broke. It’s not yet known whether or not the victim was wearing a safety harness while he was testing out the lift.
