The scaffolding of a high-rise building collapsed at a construction site in Heyuan, Guangdong, and eight migrant workers fell to their deaths. What happened?

On a construction site in Mabugang Town, Longchuan County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province, a high-rise scaffolding collapsed, causing eight migrant workers to fall to their deaths from high altitude. Once the incident occurred, it immediately attracted great attention, and the city government immediately mobilized public security, firefighting and 120 on-site rescue. After on-site treatment by medical staff, it was confirmed that 6 people died on the spot, 2 others were seriously injured and died after rescue failed, and 1 person was injured.

The cause of the fall is still under further investigation, but why do such safety accidents occur frequently at construction sites? This kind of safety incident was not just one, and many people did not learn from it. It is true that people's safety awareness is weak, but high-risk places like construction sites should have corresponding measures to protect them.

Many construction site bosses, in pursuit of profits, ignore the dangers and let workers go to high places alone without corresponding safety measures. Behind construction site support collapse accidents, the reason may often be that in order to save costs, the materials used to build the supports did not meet safety regulations or the construction site construction did not meet technical specifications. The person in charge on site did not strictly inspect the actual construction conditions in accordance with technical and safety regulations. I hope this kind of contempt for life will not happen again. Construction sites should do a good job in checking safety measures, and do not despise other people's lives just for the sake of profit. Migrant workers and brothers often have relatively low educational levels, and they only work on construction sites to support their families' daily needs. The loss of their lives means a family tragedy. They rely on their own strength to support their families. If something unfortunate happens to them, then the family will also be a nightmare. So for them, we should love and protect them. They have built buildings one after another with their own hands, and use their only abilities to benefit everyone.

The wages they receive are limited, but their work is the most tiring. Many people are not that young. If it were not for the pressure of life and the burden of family, they would not choose to leave their hometowns, come to a strange city, and work on construction sites under the bright sun. This incident should serve as a warning to everyone. I hope that all construction site bosses can uphold their own conscience and do a good job in quality inspection, and not cause unbearable consequences and lead to one tragedy after another for the sake of temporary profits. You may just use money to compensate your family members, but can you really find peace in your heart? Because what you destroy is not one person, but one family after another. We hope that the relevant governments will pay close attention to this, strictly investigate the cause of this accident, impose corresponding penalties on illegal activities, protect the rights and interests of migrant workers, and at the same time, prevent this tragedy from happening again. Relevant departments must also do a good job in quality inspection, because the quality standards to be completed during construction sites must be strictly adhered to, and resolutely prevent tragedies from happening again and again due to personal negligence or profit.
