Occupational safety is important

I am sure you have all heard about the accident at ICC which left six workers dead. I was shocked by the tragedy.

It reminded me of other industrial accidents which have cost many lives. These reports always make me sad.

Although the Labour Department has taken the initiative to promote occupational safety, accidents are still happening, and the sad thing is such accidents could be prevented. For example, in the ICC incident, it was reported that the lift platform was used for storage. This is not what it was designed for.

Six people tragically lost their lives through someone's carelessness. The government should take responsibility to prevent such terrible accidents in future.
