2 killed after falling from platform at local construction site

TWO workers were killed after they fell from a platform at a construction site in suburban Fengxian District this afternoon.

The two were standing on a cradle to install equipment on the exterior wall of a new building that belonged to Shanghai Guanwei Co Ltd, when the cables that lifted the cradle suddenly broke, causing them to fall to the ground.

Another two workers who worked nearby were slightly injured.

The company is at 7128 Daye Highway in Jinhui Town.

This is the second fatal workplace accident in Shanghai this week.

Two shipbuilders were crushed to death on Wednesday at a shipyard in Chongming County when a large steel component that was being lifted into place by a crane broke free and fell on top of them.
