A fatal accident occurred at the Anderson Road construction site in Sau Mau Ping a few days ago. A 65-ton scale collapsed and hit several container offices on the site, resulting in 3 deaths and 6 injuries. Among them, the wife of the deceased, Xu Wenming, was found to have terminal cancer earlier, and she was ready to leave early. Who knew that the accident would bring her husband away in advance. She described the accident as “God’s joke”. Xiao Qianwen, director-general of the Industrial Casualty Rights Association, said that the deceased was the breadwinner of the family. Even if the company can provide assistance now, it is very limited. I hope the society will lend a helping hand to the family.
Xu Wenming, a 41-year-old electrician employed by Jingjin Construction Co., Ltd., was certified dead on the spot due to a fractured skull and massive bleeding. Xu Tai pointed out that on the day of the accident, she received a phone call to the hospital to identify her body, but when she arrived at the scene, she found that the body was not her husband, and then received a phone call to call her to the scene of the accident. When she arrived at the site, she saw a corpse covered with a cloth, which she knew was her husband’s. Mrs. Xu didn’t dare to hug him at the moment, because it was already a corpse that didn’t respond to her. The Xu family was originally a family of four with two daughters aged 4 and 7, but she has terminal cancer. Mrs. Xu said that her husband used to be in the catering industry, and following her daughter was born, she began to work in the electrical industry. The husband is not only the breadwinner of the family, but also contributes a lot to the whole family, and spends all vacations with the children. Mrs. Xu pointed out that the two daughters already knew regarding their father’s situation, and their mood had recovered, but she had said to her earlier, “I really want Daddy to come back to accompany her.”
Mrs. Xu said that she would not blame any unit for the accident, because it was meaningless to her personally, and she would not bring her husband back. Xiao Qianwen emphasized that accidents have occurred continuously in recent days, reflecting the lack of safety awareness and the failure to follow the regulations. It is hoped that the Labour Department and the police will file charges if they find any violations. At the same time, it is hoped that the department will explain the cause of the accident to the public to prevent the recurrence of similar accidents.
