913 Analysis on the Falling Accident of Construction Elevator in Wuhan

On September 13, a construction elevator in Wuhan fell, and all 19 workers who took the elevator to the construction site were killed. Who should be responsible for this 19 accident? On that day 13: 26, 19 painters who had just finished lunch boarded the construction elevator. Unexpectedly, after more than a minute, the elevator suddenly lost control and went straight to the altitude of 100 meters. It lost its restraint on the top floor and fell freely to the ground.

Witnesses said that when the elevator descended to more than ten floors, five people were thrown out of the ladder cage, and two of them were women. After a loud noise, the elevator completely fell apart and the staff in the elevator were scattered all over the floor. ...

After the accident, Hubei Provincial Party Secretary Li Hongzhong, Governor Wang Guosheng and other leaders and relevant departments quickly rushed to the scene to direct the rescue.

Several ambulances and medical staff also rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, but it was too late. After cleaning up, the fire officers and soldiers who rushed to the scene at the first time found that 19 people were all killed, and none of them were spared.

Workers at the scene told reporters that most of the victims were from huangpi district, including four couples, aged around 30. 19 people, 17 people come from one construction team, and only two people come from another construction team. Only one worker in the whole construction team did not go to work that day because of physical discomfort, thus surviving. It is understood that this tragedy occurred in Building 7, Area C, Donghu Jingyuan, Huanle Avenue, Wuhan, and the construction unit was Wuhan Wanjia Real Estate Co., Ltd. During the process of cleaning up the scene, the reporter saw an elevator registration card on the wreckage of the accident, which read "Wuhan Municipal Construction Committee" and the effective service period was "20 1 1 June 23, 2002. Obviously, the accident elevator has been working beyond the effective service period for more than two months.

The huge placard of "the safety alarm is ringing every day" is hung less than a few meters away from the accident, which is particularly dazzling. Hubei Xianghe Construction Group, the unit in charge of this project, is not a little-known company, but a group company established in 1992 with the first-class qualification of "general contracting of construction engineering" and "professional contracting of architectural decoration engineering".

What is more noteworthy is that Xianghe Group Company has won the honorary title of "Safety Zero Accident Unit" for many years in a row.

In response to this "the most serious construction safety accident in Hubei Province in more than ten years", Hubei Housing and Construction Department held an emergency meeting overnight to study and deploy safety production work, and issued an emergency notice that night, urging construction administrative departments at all levels to immediately deploy and carry out special safety inspections of construction projects within their respective administrative areas in accordance with the requirements of "leadership takes the lead, regional coverage, and whoever checks is responsible".

Wuhan, which has more than 6,000 construction sites, also requires all construction sites in the city to stop work and carry out net-pulling safety inspection to ensure the safety of engineering construction.

At present, although Hubei Province has announced the relevant units involved in this accident, the accident itself not only highlights the lack of on-site facilities maintenance system, but also exposes the absence of supervision and management system. Who is responsible for this major accident? In fact, this tragic phenomenon caused by the fall of the construction elevator is not a case. As early as June 5438+February 2008, an accident occurred in Changsha City, Hunan Province, causing 18 deaths.

According to the report of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, from June to July this year, there were a total of major construction safety accidents 1 1, including 5 construction crane safety accidents.

The frequent accidents of hoisting machinery in construction sites have also made the society pay attention to the safety of elevators next to them again.

According to the statistics of China Elevator Industry Association, there are about 1.63 million elevators in use in China, which is the country with the largest number of elevators in the world. According to the calculation of the average elevator life of 20 years, China has entered an important period of elevator aging.

According to relevant experts, the important reason for elevator safety hazards is that maintenance is not timely. There is a popular saying in the elevator industry: three points depend on products and seven points depend on maintenance. However, in China, most elevators are less overhauled and maintained. The maintenance problem has become a major hidden danger of elevator operation safety. In order to save money, some property units only check the elevator once every few months, and even invite people to check if something goes wrong. The phenomenon of inspection evasion, missed inspection and annual inspection lag is very serious. In addition, the extended service of some old elevators is also the cause of safety hazards.

According to the incomplete statistics of the fire department in Wuhan, last year, the city received a total of 137 alarms about people trapped in elevators, and dispatched police 1073 person-times to rescue 253 people trapped.

Experts call on the government to strengthen the safety supervision of construction elevators and ordinary elevators in addition to strengthening the popularization of safety knowledge of construction workers. In fact, if the routine safety inspection and inspection of elevators are carried out in place, will the tragedy happen?

Safety responsibility is more important than mountains. Experts expressed the hope that such slogans should not only be written on the wall and hung on the mouth, but should really fall into action. This man-made disaster in Wuhan is "not the first time, I hope it is the last time".
