The Ministry of Transport recently held discussions with China Communications Construction Group Limited regarding accidents in the field of highway construction.

Since the beginning of this year, China Communications Construction Group has had multiple accidents in the field of highway engineering construction. In order to deeply learn from these accidents and urge the enterprises to effectively ensure the safety of production in the field of highway engineering construction, the Ministry of Transport recently held talks with China Communications Construction Group Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary CCCC Second Navigation Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. The talks required China Communications Construction Group to strictly fulfill its corporate responsibilities, strengthen internal safety management, and streamline the construction safety management system. They need to deepen the investigation and rectification of hidden risks, actively strengthen safety precautions against accidents such as falls from height, collapse of foundation pits and slopes, collapse of formwork supports, mechanical injuries, and collapse of large temporary facilities. They must also strengthen the management of subcontracting and labor cooperation teams, and resolutely rectify illegal operations and risky construction.
