Incident

On the evening of August 5, 2024, a construction worker (the person in charge of the project site of the professional subcontracting unit of the upper steel structure, the main body and the attached public area decoration, the ground shaft decoration and the square in front of the station) illegally crossed the fertilizer groove between the elevator shaft platform and the foundation pit retaining wall during the steel structure hoisting and welding operation at Exit B. Due to the lack of on-site edge protection facilities, the worker fell to the bottom of the foundation pit and died after being rescued.^[4]
