<Anchor> On the
morning of the 20th, a crash occurred at the construction site of a distribution center in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, and three workers died.
The accident could be prevented by working with only the seat belt, but the police believe that there was no proper device.

<Reporter> A
large hole was drilled in the ceiling of the 5th floor of the distribution center construction site, and the railing was bent like a malt.
At around 7:30 am today, at a construction site in a distribution center in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, the ceiling collapsed during rebar installation work for concrete placement.
This is the construction site where the accident occurred.
Five workers crashed down a floor about 10m along with reinforced bars and concrete from the hole above there.
All were moved to the hospital, but three died and two were seriously injured.
All five were Chinese compatriots belonging to subcontractors.
[Police official: It means that it suddenly thumped and collapsed without any preliminary action.
Only those who worked around the beam there (
it's gone
.)]
There was a safety railing at the site where you could attach a seat belt, but it is said that no one used a safety device at the time of work.
In fact, the police surveyed three workers on the site and found that "all said there was no such safety facility."
[Hyung-Jun Ahn/Former Dean of the College of Architecture, Konkuk University: Where there is a risk of falling, for example, in places where there is a risk of falling, for example, in places where the height of the floor is very high and serious accidents, ie, injuries or deaths are expected, safety hooks must be made.] The
police
do not
install safety facilities and act as pillars. In order to determine the cause of the collapse of the building beam, we plan to investigate the client and contractor.
