He landed on the pedestrian pavement and died on the spot. 照片 >> 事故原因调查 1. The company had conducted a Risk Assessment (RA) for the project. However, it failed to identify the hazards arising from spray painting works near the edge of the road. 2. There were no safety measures instituted to eliminate or reduce the risk of accidental collision between the cherry picker and the moving vehicles on the road. 3. There were no control measures to ensure that the cherry picker did not encroach accidentally into the road. 4. There were no warning signboards / lights, barricades or pylons put up at the scene of the accident to warn motorists of the works carried out in the vicinity. The company was convicted for failing to identify the risks and institute safety measures for spray painting works at the workplace. >> 事故教训 1. Under the WSH (Risk Management) Regulations, comprehensive RA shall be conducted for all work processes to eliminate or control risk through detailed plans/procedures for work to be carried out. Arising from the RA, appropriate safe work procedures shall be developed and implemented. RA guidelines and other relevant references are available at the MOM Website and WSHAC Website. 2. Safety measures such as putting up warning signboards/lightings, barricades or pylons should be implemented at the vicinity to warn motorists of the painting work to prevent accidental collision between the boom lift and the vehicles traveling on the road.

Aerial work platforms (AWPs) such as scissor lifts, and cherry pickers shall be inspected and certified safe for use by an MOM Authorised Examiner once every 6 months. 3. Safety belt or harness with two lanyards should be worn by the worker working at height. The lanyards should be securely anchored to a suitable anchorage point or static line; in this case the bucket of the cherry picker to prevent the worker from being ejected or pulled from the bucket. 4. The persons working on AWPs should be protected by physical barricades to prevent falls. Most platforms are also fitted with a safety interlock system to prevent accidental toppling. 5. All AWPs should only be used on a solid level surface and within the load limit. It should not be used in high wind conditions or on uneven ground.
