Five workers working at the construction site of a distribution warehouse in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, fell 10 meters, killing three and injuring two. According to the Pyeongtaek Fire Department and the Pyeongtaek Police Station on the 20th, around 7:32 am, five workers who were working on the sixth floor of a construction site of a distribution center in Cheongbuk-eup, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, they crashed 10 m. The accident killed three people, two men in their 50s and one in their 40s. Two other workers in their 50s were also seriously injured, but their lives were confirmed to be no harm. It was confirmed that all the workers were employed by subcontractors of the construction company that built this warehouse as Korean Chinese who entered Korea on work visas.
The floor collapses before its completion at the end of next March
The distribution warehouse in which the accident occurred was scheduled to be built with 7 stories above ground and 1 story below ground, and construction began in February this year. It is expected to be completed by the end of March next year. Workers were working on ramp sections and rebar slabs on the warehouse’s sixth floor that day. However, it was confirmed that the concrete frame collapsed and the floor collapsed, causing it to fall to the fifth floor 10 meters below. At that time, 8 workers were working on the sixth floor of the construction site. However, only 5 people crashed and only a few floors collapsed.
Police “Investigate bad constructions, fulfillment of security obligations, etc.”
Police investigated three workers unharmed this morning. Officials at the construction site also plan to call and investigate on the 21st. A police officer said: “We plan to investigate the exact cause of the accident by conducting a joint assessment with the National Institute for Scientific Research,” and said: ” As the construction site floor collapsed, we plan to investigate not only whether the construction site is insolvent, but also the workplace safety obligations. ”
