A 63-year-old female passer-by died by falling iron branch that plunged from an unauthorized building works unit in Mong Kok

On February 22, 2023, an iron branch fell from a height during the demolition of an unauthorized building works (UBW) unit in a building on Cheung Mong Road, Mong Kok, and hit a 63-year-old female passerby on the head, resulting in death. A 60-year-old decoration worker arrested by police.
At about 2:00 pm on February 22, 2023, the police received a report that an iron branch fell from a height on Cheung Mong Road, Mong Kok. A woman passed by and was stabbed in the head by the iron branch. She fell unconscious on the spot and was confirmed dead after being sent to Kwong Wah Hospital for emergency treatment.
The police cordoned off the scene for investigation. A man and a woman were taken away. A unit on the top floor of the building where the incident occurred was undergoing demolition of UBW, and scaffolding was erected outside the building.The police pointed out that a residential unit on the 11th floor of the building was undergoing demolition of UBW. During a decoration worker's work, an iron branch fell vertically from the unit, first piercing the back canopy, and then directly into the head of the deceased.
The staff of the Buildings Department inspected the scene and found construction waste on the scaffolding around the UBW after the incident, and instructed the workers of the relevant contractor to remove the waste immediately. The unit involved has been sealed up by the police, and related demolition work has also been suspended.

Design Information Centre would like to remind everyone the following items, to pay attention to the importance of occupational safety and avoid fatal accidents.

  1. Don’t choose discreditable companies because of low prices to avoid unnecessary loss.
  2. Where any work is in progress, all workers and mentors have to comply with the regulations strictly so as to protect the safety and interest of any parties.
  3. Before choosing a renovation company, be aware if that company purchased labor insurance.
  4. The renovation company must conduct a risk evaluation.
  5. Before choosing a renovation company, one should realize the structure and ability of a company, for example if the company provides regular staff training, the resume and the strength of designers and how professional are the renovation workers, and employ a large-scaled, well known and experienced company. Also, companies should be accredited the ISO International Certification, and have to be strictly examined by banks which offering interest-free instalment will be preferable and more reliable.

If owners hire unregistered constructors to perform the 126 items of building works included in Minor Works Control System, even owners purchased related insurance before the project begin, Insurance may consider that owner may be charged and bear any possible accident arise. Incurring greater loss, hence choosing a registered contractor would just be your best choice.

Design Information Centre has been registered as a minor works contractor ‘Smart Will Engineering Limited’ (Buildings Department registration no.: MWC 4320/2011) to carry out related construction and minor works. To avoid misunderstandings or conflicts between different parties, remember to inquire clearly before fitting out.
