918 Earthquake – Contractor for the badminton court at Badeh National Sports Center
In 2017, at the Taipei “Ankang Market Public Housing” project undertaken by RSEA Engineering Corporation, a worker was killed after being struck by falling rebar; in 2019, at the construction project for the Kaohsiung City Integrated Long-Term Care Center for the Elderly, a worker was killed after being struck by formwork!
🔎According to the Ministry of Labor’s “Search System for Businesses (Employers) Violating Labor Laws and Regulations,” since 2015 there have been records of 210 violations of labor laws and regulations and 4 major occupational accidents.
🔎According to the Ministry of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s “Major Occupational Disasters Public Disclosure Network,” since 2015 there have been 199 violations of occupational safety and health laws and regulations, with an average of 25 penalties imposed per year; as of this year, there have already been 15 penalties.
This unscrupulous contractor was named as early as 2018 by The Reporter. Its record of labor-law violations ranked highest among all contractors, and the overwhelming majority involved occupational safety and health regulations. It can be said to have disregarded construction-site safety, with no sign of improvement even after being penalized.
In 2022, less than a day after the badminton court at Badeh National Sports Center opened, the 918 earthquake struck, and the ceiling directly fell and collapsed.
