Dozens of yuan safety ropes abruptly fell on the 22nd floor of a repairer in Fuzhou

On August 8th, on the 22nd floor of a residential area in Mawei, Fuzhou, a Hubei-based migrant worker who had installed a balcony invisible security net at a homeowner's home was suddenly disconnected from the 22nd floor because of a sudden disconnection of the safety rope, and he was unfortunately killed on the spot. The deceased’s workers said that the “safety rope” was bought at a small hardware store in Taijiang and was worth tens of dollars. There have been similar incidents in the past.

Most of these workers at high altitudes are not trained. Safety knowledge is based on the mutual teaching of workers. Moreover, the safety ropes are all brought by the workers, and some people are greedy and have poorer prices. These poor quality hemp rope safety ropes are prone to problems if they are not maintained. Such ropes, if exposed to moisture after exposure to moisture, can become brittle and break easily, and are extremely dangerous when subjected to the weight of an adult's body.

Persons engaged in high-altitude operations are advised to purchase safety ropes for fire protection or outdoor use, and ordinary safety ropes are only a few hundred dollars. In addition to the safety rope to buy regular factory production, certified by professional organizations, usually pay attention to conservation. At present, many migrant workers engaged in high-altitude operations do not have the knowledge of equipment selection and maintenance. It is hoped that the safety supervision department can increase the promotion of such safety knowledge and minimize the recurrence of such tragedies.
