香港当局周六宣布，将加快更新高空作业平台的安全指南，并启动大规模检查行动，以应对近期三名工人在涉及高空作业或起重装置的事故中丧生。劳工及福利局局长孙玉菡在广播节目中表示，他对这一系列工业死亡事件深感关注，并承诺政府将采取后续行动。
孙玉菡说：“我们将加快更新高空作业平台指南，例如强调传感装置和防碰撞技术如何为工人提供更好保护。”他预计，新指南将提升此类平台的安全性。此外，当局将在未来几天内启动大规模执法行动，以提高公众对安全的认识，但未提供更多细节。
周三，两起独立的建筑工地事故导致两名工人死亡，三人受伤，均涉及高空作业。当局已启动调查。其中，一名65岁男工人在启德兴丰里维多利亚绽放房屋项目工地，被起重平台的栏杆和墙壁夹住而丧生。其他事故发生在荃湾和宝峰路等地，涉及起重作业。
这些事件凸显了香港建筑业安全监管的紧迫性，孙玉菡强调政府将加强监管以防止类似悲剧。
