Last update date: 2020-06-20 00:39Father's Day is approaching on Sunday (21st), many families are preparing to celebrate their family together with their father. But an accident today took the life of a father. At a construction site on Prince Edward Road West in Kowloon City, a 48-year-old male worker fell into a coma during work and was sent to the hospital where he was certified dead. He left behind his wife and three daughters, who were only three years old. The widow, Matterton, lost her grief and revealed that her husband had no major health problems except diabetes. The daughter of the deceased claimed that the cause of the father’s death was not identified, and it was unknown who was right or wrong, and he did not want to blame anyone at this stage.
Xiao Qianwen, director general of the Industrial Injury Rights and Interests Association, said that work injury is defined as an accident during work that results in injury or death, but if suddenly fainted during work, unless the death is caused by heat stroke, it is necessary to investigate whether the cause of death is caused by an individual's own disease. It can't be regarded as a work injury.
The 48-year-old surnamed Ma, who died in a construction site in Kowloon City this morning, suddenly fell ill and passed out. The coma was sent to hospital for treatment and proved dead. The deceased left behind his wife and three daughters, of which the youngest daughter was only 3 years old. The deceased and the eldest daughter were the mainstay of the family's economy. After learning of her husband’s death, Matthew was very sad and continued to sob when talking about the incident. Before the incident, the husband had expressed to his colleagues that he suddenly felt uncomfortable in the chest, but unexpectedly fainted. They learned that they arrived at the hospital after the incident. I was going to ask my husband what ward he was in, but found that her husband had regained his soul. "I thought it would be fine to scare him, but I guess it would be a big deal, and I had no life!"
It’s no different to go out this morning
Matthew said that her husband has worked in construction sites for more than 20 years. It’s a good idea to ask Qu to go back and do it.” Ma worked on the site for about a month and was responsible for waterproofing works. However, the number of working days was not stable. There was no work for a week before going to work today. Her husband went out as usual at 7 am this morning. Gossip is no different.
Matthew said that her husband suffers from diabetes and will receive regular injections and medicines every day. In addition to this, his health is not affected on weekdays, and he has not disclosed any discomfort recently. However, after today’s incident, Matthew claimed that representatives of the outsourced businessmen told them that their husband’s accident was their own health problem, and it was not considered a work-related injury. “You don’t account for work-related injuries. "Frightened", Matthew admitted that he was not familiar with the relevant laws, and therefore felt very helpless.
Madame Ma said that at present, she and her mother mainly deal with the affairs of her father, and the youngest sisters who are most in need of care are only three years old. However, because she is young, she still does not know that her father has died. She also pointed out that the cause of her father’s death is still to be investigated, and it is not yet clear who is right and who is wrong. At this stage, she will not blame anyone.
Right of Workers Association: If it is caused by its own disease, it cannot be regarded as a work injury
Xiao Qianwen, director general of the Industrial Injury Rights and Interests Association, said that work injury is defined as an accident during work that results in injury or death. For example, a fall from a height during work will be regarded as work injury. However, if you suddenly faint during work, unless the death is caused by heat stroke, it is necessary to investigate whether the cause of death is caused by personal illness, and if it is not a work-related injury, the relevant case requires experience of cadavers and other procedures to confirm the cause of death. Xiao Qianwen said that there are nearly 100 cases of fainting and death during work every year. The causes include heart disease and stroke.
