DUBAI // A man was killed and another seriously injured after falling from scaffolding yesterday in Diera, police said.
The two men were working at a construction site, reports said. The height from which they fell was not clear.
"We received a report at around 11am about an accident in a construction site in Diera, and we immediately deployed patrols to the site," an official from Dubai Police said today.
An Egyptian man died at the scene, while a co-worker from Bangladesh suffered serious injuries. He has been transferred to Rashid Hospital for treatment.
Primary findings suggest safety regulations were not followed, but a technical report by Dubai Municipality is under way to determine the exact cause of the accident.
