The Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) set up rescue equipment on the 29th and 30th floors.
"The gondola was then secured with safety lines, before a DART rescuer descended onto the gondola to rescue the two workers," SCDF said.
Both workers, wearing safety harnesses, were secured and taken into the building through the windows on the 29th and 30th floors.
The workers were assessed by an SCDF paramedic and taken to Raffles Hospital in a stable condition, said SCDF.
