Safety hints about a fatal work accident that happened in Chek Lap Kok on 10 July 2025

In response to the fatal accident that happened on 10 July 2025, in which a male worker was struck to death by a collapsed metal structure being dismantled, the LD appeals to duty holders to take suitable safety measures, including:

• preparing and implementing an appropriate method statement detailing the methods for dismantling work at each stage, sequences of dismantling work, plant and equipment required, etc.;
• providing substantive support to the structures being dismantled to prevent them from accidental displacement or sudden collapse;
• fencing off the area for dismantling work; and
• implementing control measures to prevent any unnecessary persons from entering fenced-off area.
