A Thai man was killed and two Myanmar workers were injured when a crane collapsed in a construction site of a four-story building under construction in Bangkok, Thailand on the evening of September 10, according to people working on labor issues.

For the Thai citizen, he will have full rights under the law as he is a citizen, and there is a need to communicate with the Thai Lawyers Council and Thai Human Rights Foundation for Myanmar workers to have the right to benefit according to the law, said U Moe Gyo, chairman of the Joint Action Committee for Burmese Affairs (JACBA).

"In this incident, a Thai man died and two Myanmar nationals were injured when a crane collapsed at a construction site within the boundaries of the Bangkok metropolitan area. These often happen in the construction and agricultural industries. For a Thai person who is also a citizen, he will have legal rights. For the two Myanmar citizens who are receiving medical treatment, according to the Thai legal rights, they must be examined according to the injured condition. If they become permanently disabled, they have the right to receive compensation for 15 years. For this, we have to make contact with human rights lawyers and the Thai Human Rights and Development Foundation (HRDF)," said U Moe Gyo.

The construction site is located in Bangkok, Thailand and the collapse of the crane pole of the four-story building under construction occurred.

In the incident, one Thai citizen was killed and two Myanmar migrant workers were injured. The Myanmar community needs to work together to get appropriate compensation and compensation for the two injured Myanmar workers, he said.
