The move aims to minimize the risk of incidents similar to the case in the southern province of Dong Thap, in which a 10-year-old fell and got stuck into a 35-meter-deep concrete pillar.
Accordingly, municipal departments, construction project management units, and district-level authorities, the Ha Noi Urban Railway Management Board must strengthen the supervision of all local construction and investment projects to prevent potential accidents.
The construction site management unit must install signs and notices of danger, provide protective gear for workers and employees, prevent unauthorized persons from entering the construction area, and prevent accidents, particularly around high points and deep holes.
On December 31, 2022, a group of four kids entered the Roc Sen Bridge construction site in Thanh Binh District's Phu Loi Commune of Dong Thap province. The kids wanted to collect some mental craps to sell for extra money.
Among the four kids, a 10-year-old boy suddenly fell into a 35-meter-deep hollow shaft. The management unit of the construction site immediately called for assistance to look and pull the boy out.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh immediately requested Dong Thap provincial People's Committee and several ministries to seek professional advice and technical support to speed up possible solutions to save the kid./.
