Causes of high-altitude fall accidentsAppraisal Background

A fall accident is a fall from a high place, but it generally refers to a fall accident from a high place. Falling accidents from heights have the highest incidence rate and are extremely dangerous. They are one of the "three major injuries" (falling from heights, collapse, and object impact) accidents in the construction industry. Falling accidents from heights are caused by working at heights, so they can be simply classified according to the classification form of working at heights. According to the "Classification of Work at Heights", any work performed at heights where there is a possibility of falling above 2m (inclusive) from the reference plane is called work at heights.

Zhongke Testing and Appraisal Institute can provide high-altitude fall accident identification services and make accurate identifications of trace evidence analysis and accident cause analysis in various high-altitude fall accidents.



Causes of high-altitude fall accidentsCause of Accident:

1. From the analysis of people's unsafe behaviors, the main reasons are as follows:

(1) "Three violations" of illegal command, illegal operation, and violation of labor disciplines.

(2) The operator made a mistake, such as falling due to stepping on the air or slipping when working near the edge.

(3) Inattention, mainly manifested by not paying attention to whether the surrounding environment is safe before working or taking action and acting rashly. .

2. Analysis of the unsafe condition of objects is mainly due to the following reasons:

0 (1) The material strength of the safety protection facilities for working at heights is insufficient, poor installation, wear and aging, etc.

4 (3) Defects in labor protection products are mainly manifested in fall accidents caused by damage, breakage, and loss of anti-skid functions of safety helmets, safety belts, safety ropes, anti-skid shoes and other supplies for workers at heights due to inherent defects. Some units are greedy for cheap and only look at the price when purchasing labor protection supplies, regardless of whether the product has a production license or product certificate. As a result, the labor protection supplies used by workers have quality problems and cannot provide safety protection at all.

Causes of high-altitude fall accidentsAuthentication case

In 2022, a falling accident occurred from a height in the second-floor workshop of a company in Shenzhen during the renovation process. A construction worker fell from the ceiling and landed on his head. He died after being sent to the hospital but failed to rescue him. Our appraisers went to the workshop on the second floor of the factory building where the incident occurred to conduct an inspection, and conducted an on-site inspection of the ceiling and electrical environment at the scene.

Our company was entrusted by the client to conduct a technical appraisal of the "fall from height" accident and find the direct cause of the accident.

identification analysis results:

The identification expert group discussed and comprehensively analyzed the relevant information, on-site inspection and test data of this "fall from height" accident, and gave the following identification opinions.

The personnel involved had a weak sense of safety. They illegally climbed onto a ceiling that was not accessible to people, failed to take 57% protective measures to prevent falls from heights, and did not wear a safety helmet correctly. They accidentally collapsed the observation hole cover and fell to the ground, causing the accident.
