According to statistics from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development, scaffold collapse accidents have accounted for a high proportion of construction accidents in recent years.
In 2023, the overall collapse of scaffolding at a construction site resulted in 3 deaths and 5 injuries, with direct economic losses exceeding 8 million yuan.
The accident investigation found that insufficient installation of connecting wall components, missing sweeping rods, and non-standard scissor braces were the main reasons.
