[Review] One person died when workers and electric trolleys fell from the floor door of the 5th floor construction lift!

Accident cause analysis: The construction elevator is equipped with two doors, namely, cage door and landing door (the door leading to the cage can be closed on the landing), to ensure the safety of personnel and goods.

The bricklayer and plasterer working in this area is suspected to accelerate too fast and lose control when operating the electric trolley.
