[Work Safety Exposure Platform] Safety officers fail to wear safety helmets properly, and the erection of scaffolding does not comply with the construction plans at all

Thread Content

The safety officer was not wearing a safety helmet properly, and the installation of the scaffolding did not conform to the established construction plans... Recently, due to poor on-site management and serious safety hazards, Group 9 of the comprehensive inspection team from the State Council’s Safety Committee ordered the local regulatory authorities to order a construction site in Anyang City, Henan Province, to suspend work for rectification. That afternoon, the inspection team went to the construction site of the Phase II project at Shuxiangyuan in Anyang City. When asked who the safety officers were and whether they were there, it was found that one of the safety officers had simply placed a red safety helmet loosely on top of his tourist hat. “You’re a safety officer and you can’t even wear a safety helmet? ”Seeing such a scene, the inspection team members questioned them. Under everyone’s gaze, the safety officer quickly removed the two hats, put on his safety helmet again, and tightened the chin strap that served as an additional fixing mechanism. In fact, during this surprise inspection, the inspection team focused on the safety officers because, as soon as they entered the construction site, they identified issues such as the use of temporary power connections in the distribution boxes and mismatched parameters in the leakage protection devices. At the construction site of Building 6, this 26-story building has already reached its sixth floor; experts from the inspection team made their way up the stairs, navigating carefully through the interconnected support structures. “You see, there is a gap of nearly 500 millimeters between the upper part of the scaffolding structure and the building; no measures have been taken to fill this gap, and the wall connectors do not meet the required standards. The construction plan certainly would not be designed in this way. This is a major potential accident hazard. ”After a careful examination, the experts from the inspection team said to the project manager. Subsequently, during the inspection of the documents, the inspection team found that the bracing elements for the scaffolding at that site had not been installed in accordance with the specific construction plan, and the anti-tilting and anti-fall devices did not meet the design requirements. Further inspection revealed that there was no fire protection water system in place at the construction site – neither fire water tanks nor fire pumps, and no fire protection pipelines either. “Look, in these 5 high-rise buildings, the formwork work areas where the main structure is being constructed lack fire-fighting water sources and facilities; there are also insufficient other fire-fighting equipment in those areas, and there are so many cigarette butts on site as well. ”Faced with the issues pointed out by the inspection team, the project manager kept his head down and said nothing. Ironically, at the construction site, a slogan in blue letters on a white background that reads \"Safety is of utmost importance, quality is as vital as mountains; with people working there, prevention comes first\" is prominently displayed, hanging high. A total of 2 major accident hazards were identified during this inspection. The inspection team members said sternly, “Work must be halted immediately at such a construction site for rectification!” ”The local housing and construction authorities issued a notice ordering the suspension of work for rectification at the site on the spot, and assigned personnel to be stationed at the construction site to supervise and guide the rectification efforts throughout the night. Currently, the Anyang City Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau has issued a notice regarding the launch of a special campaign to address major safety hazards in construction projects; this campaign, which will last one month, aims to \"thoroughly eliminate safety hazards and prevent accidents\".
