     The case involved a fatal accident that occurred on November 20, 2015 at a construction site in Tai Po. A worker, while working on a metal platform erected above the false ceiling of an upper floor of a newly built industrial building to install cable conduits, fell about 3 metres to the floor through an opening of the metal platform. He sustained serious injury and subsequently passed away in late December 2015.
