Migrant workers crashed through the heights, wearing steel bars, and removing helmets without protective measures

Yesterday morning, a migrant worker at a construction site in Zhengzhou inadvertently fell from high altitude, and a thick steel bar from his left chest pierced through.

At 4:30 pm yesterday, the rebar was pulled out. The doctor said that the injured are no longer in danger.

Migrant workers fall from high altitude and steel bars pass through him

At 9:00 a.m. yesterday morning, some Zhengzhou citizens reported to Henan Business Daily that a migrant worker who was working at a high altitude on a construction site in the Forest Park had accidentally dropped. A steel bar on the ground passed through his chest.

Yesterday at the scene, peasant workers told reporters that they belong to the 15th Bureau of the China Railways Corporation. They are constructing a tunnel and have dug tens of meters deep. Under the tunnel, there are many shelves made of steel.

Luo, who was working in the area with the injured migrant worker, said: "When he got off the shelf, his soles might slip and fall."

Master Luo said that the shelf is seven or eight meters high above the ground. “He fell on a steel bar that was exposed to the ground. His left chest penetrated and nobody dared to move.”

After the firefighters arrived, they saw the steel bars fixed on the ground with an electric saw. The ambulance pulled him to the Provincial People's Hospital.

Yesterday, at the construction site, the reporter found that the migrant workers did not do any other protective measures except wearing a safety helmet.

He is the pillar of the family

Yesterday, through the door of the emergency room of the Provincial People's Hospital, the reporter saw injured migrant workers.

He sat halfway on the hospital bed, with a length of reinforcement about 20 centimeters in the left chest. Around the hospital bed, several fellows supported him.

About half an hour later, the injured migrant workers were pushed out and transferred to the operating room. Outside the operating room, the wounded cousin Huang Chaozhan told the reporter that the injured peasant workers were called Li Qingxian, and the town of Shaobaisi, in Tanghe County, Nanyang, was 44 years old and had just arrived at the construction site for several months. "He has a son and a daughter in his family. His son is in his 20s and his daughter is in his early 20s. The family relies on him to work alone to make money. He is the pillar of his family."

A worker said that Li Qingxian’s family was rushing to the hospital. “We are all fellows and just gave their family members a call.”

The steel bar has been pulled out and no life-threatening

At noon yesterday, the reporter saw a person in charge of the Yangxing site at the hospital. He said that the construction party has bought insurance for migrant workers, and migrant workers need to be treated. They will actively cooperate. "We are also surprised that migrant workers are injured."

At 4:30 pm yesterday, the reporter learned from the Provincial People's Hospital that the reinforcing steel was passed between Li Qingxian’s pulmonary artery and the aorta. At present, the steel bars on his body have been pulled out. People are still in operation and their vital signs are stable. There is no danger of life. “Slight deviations from the reinforcement can lead to blood vessel rupture and lead to disastrous consequences.” (Henan Daily reporter Sun Ke)
