Hengshui Immigration Workers Fall at Work

A few days ago, a 27-year-old migrant worker in Hengshui accidentally fell on the sixth floor when he was working at height. A survey by the reporter found that behind the frequent occurrence of high-altitude operations, there is a cognitive blind spot and a regulatory vacuum.

What do you use to fasten the safety rope?

There is a blind area of ​​awareness, lack of professional training, resulting in frequent accidents

Not long ago, in the Yishuiyuan Community of Hengshui City, 27-year-old migrant worker Xiao Zhang fell from the sixth floor and died on the spot when he changed screens for a high-level residents. A few migrant workers who had been working with the nearby community came to hear the news. They stood downstairs and looked down at the falling rope and looked sad. "He should be unsafe with his safety rope and he accidentally falls." 32-year-old peasant worker Xiao Li told reporters that Xiao Zhang, like himself, usually does a bit of work in the community and sometimes helps the owners change windows. However, they all felt that they would be replaced in a short while. They should not be accidental, and sometimes they would not even be attached to a safety rope .

"This line has no technical content. As long as you are bold and have a lot of hands and feet, you can get money by going up to work. Why would you not do it?" "We have done five or six years. We haven't heard of any training. "I have a good body and I don't feel dizzy. Why do I have regular medical check-ups?" Many migrant workers with high-level work experience said in the interview. It is this blind recognition that has led to many accidents. On March 9th, when a migrant worker in Langfang was working at a height of 20 meters, he was accidentally killed because the safety clasp was not fixed. According to his co-workers, the deceased had never worked at a height of 20 meters. At that time, he had no safety ropes and no other supervision and protective measures.

A survey by the reporter found that almost all migrant workers entering the field of high-altitude operations believe that the threshold for this industry is very low and they can do it bravely. Although they are more or less aware of their dangers, because of their high income and quick income, it is easy for them to take risks and choose this line. In stark contrast to this, these migrant workers have not received professional training and generally lack basic basic knowledge about high-altitude operations. They are also blindly optimistic about their own physical condition.

Because of the above reasons, the safety protection measures for migrant workers during the operation of high-altitude operations are poor. A few days ago, in a district of the provincial capital Yuhua West Road and Chengjiao Street, the reporter saw Sun Changhai, a Henan-based migrant worker who was engaged in window decoration work on the 3rd floor, with almost no protective measures. He told reporters that on the lower floors, they had already formed a habit of construction without any protective measures. Only if the floors were particularly high, they would be tied with safety ropes. However, besides, no safety helmets or non-slip shoes were worn. Wait for any other security measures.

Clearly regulated the main body, improved the relevant system, and secured the safety rope

The reporter learned from the survey that the traditional high-altitude operations mainly refer to aerial operations in the construction of buildings or special fields and special industries. However, with the development of the city, the demand for aerial work has entered the homes of ordinary people and ordinary family needs. It includes many high-altitude operations such as floor cleaning, painting, window replacement, and air-conditioning service industries, all of which are actually high-altitude operations. However, these high-altitude operations are still a regulatory vacuum.

“For high-altitude operations of buildings under construction, there are clear regulations and supervision, but all the high-altitude operations involved after the owner’s arrival are specific market activities and it is unclear who will supervise and take responsibility,” said a construction industry expert from the provincial capital. According to the relevant regulations, anyone involved in high-altitude operations must be certified and qualified after undergoing training and assessment. However, due to the large mobility of migrant workers in the industry, it is difficult to organize training, let alone to hold certificates. "In short, there are many vacuum zones in the field of aerial work from market access to process supervision," said the expert.

In addition, after the accident, migrant workers are still facing compensation. Shi Bo Zhuang Hua Hua Law Firm lawyer Liu Bo combined with many years of experience in handling cases told reporters that affiliated companies of migrant workers, the company tends to delay again and again, as a low-income group of migrant workers simply can not afford, so often choose to give up or something Small, privately resolved, and privately resolved, migrant workers receive little compensation. For the migrant workers who have taken care of themselves illegally, after the accident, the responsibilities of the migrant workers and the owners are difficult to define. It is difficult to clarify things and it is difficult to make compensation. Sometimes owners will give migrant workers certain compensation based on humanitarian considerations.

Relevant experts appealed for the security of high-altitude operation safety ropes. It is necessary to clarify the main body of supervision as soon as possible, establish a unified market access, training and supervision system, and establish and improve the necessary legal aid system. At the same time, migrant workers engaged in high-altitude operations must also raise their awareness of safety and strictly follow the rules of operation. They must not take it lightly.
