SLIPS

Raphael John Lall of the Guardian, Media Watch is in two minds about your story titled "Construction worker hospitalised after fall".
The first thing that comes to mind is that he fell off his scaffolding, or fell from some height while doing something.
Then we read this line "...remained warded in Port-of-Spain General Hospital, after slipping and falling down a flight of stairs in the RBTT building under construction...".

He could have been anyone, an engineer, a financier, an inspector falling down a flight of stairs. But you clearly wanted us to link this in our minds with the other incident, where that construction worker actually fell off a scaffolding.
The guy who fell down the stairs could not have been expected to be wearing a harness or some other paraphernalia.
