Eight migrant workers died when scaffolding collapsed at a high-rise building in Heyuan, Guangdong. What happened?

At a construction site in Mabugang Town, Longchuan County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province, a high-rise scaffold collapsed, causing eight migrant workers' brothers to fall from the sky and die. Once the incident happened, it immediately attracted great attention, and the municipal government immediately mobilized public security, fire fighting and 12 on-site rescue. It was confirmed by medical staff on-site treatment that 6 people died on the spot, 2 others were seriously injured, the rescue was invalid and 1 person was injured.

The cause of the fall is still under investigation, but why are such safety accidents frequent in the construction site? For such a safety accident, it is not just once, and many people have not learned a lesson from it. It is true that people's awareness of safety is weak, but there should be corresponding measures to protect high-risk places like construction sites.

In order to pursue profits, many construction site bosses let workers go to high places alone regardless of the danger, but there are no corresponding safety measures. Behind the collapse accident of the site support, it may often be to save costs. The materials used to build the support do not meet the safety specifications or the site construction does not meet the technical specifications, and the person in charge at the site fails to check the actual construction status in strict accordance with the technical and safety specifications. I hope this kind of contempt for life will not happen again, and the construction site should do a good job in safety measures testing, not just to pursue profits and despise other people's lives. Migrant workers and brothers often have low educational level, and work in the construction site only to support the needs of family life. The fall of their lives also means the tragedy of a family. They rely on their only strength to support their families. If something bad happens to them, then the family is also a nightmare. Therefore, for them, we should cherish them and build one building after another with our own hands, and use our only ability to benefit everyone.

Their salary is limited, but their work is the most tiring. Many people are not so young. If it weren't for the pressure of life and the heavy responsibility of family, they wouldn't choose to leave their hometown and come to a strange city to work on the construction site in the sun. This incident should be able to give you a warning. I hope that the site owners can uphold their conscience and do a good job in quality inspection, so as not to cause unbearable consequences and lead to one tragedy after another for the sake of temporary profits. You may just use money to compensate your families, but can you really get peace in your heart? Because you are not destroying one person, but one family after another. It is hoped that the relevant government can attach great importance to it, thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident, give corresponding punishment to illegal acts, protect the rights and interests of migrant workers, and at the same time, don't let this tragedy happen again. Relevant departments must also do a good job in quality inspection. Because the quality standards to be completed in site construction must be strictly guarded against, and tragedies that occur again and again due to personal negligence or profits must be resolutely put an end to.
