Safety hints about a fatal work accident that happened in Kwu Tung on 4 September 2025

In response to the fatal work accident that happened on 4 September 2025 in which a male worker fell from height while installing metal mould on the external wall of a building under construction, the LD appeals to duty holders to take suitable safety measures, including:

• providing workers with suitable working platforms and ensuring that the platforms are properly used by workers throughout the work; and
• providing suitable full-body harnesses to workers, which should be attached continuously to suitable and secure anchor points or independent lifelines with fall arresting system to protect workers' work-at-height safety if the provision of working platforms is not practicable.
