There is a famous saying that once said, "The worst thing in life is not death, but the loss of meaning and dignity of life." "Indeed, in the event of a fatal accident or permanent disability, our lives can be turned upside down. We may lose our way of life, lose the ability to work, and may even be confined to a wheelchair for life. Therefore, we must realize that safety is not a child's play, it is about everyone's life and health.
1. The woman accidentally fell in the hotel and was permanently paralyzed
On the night of November 27, 2020, Miss Mary drove to a high-end hotel in Jintan District, Changzhou to attend the company's annual meeting. After the dinner, Mary walked alone to the hotel's outdoor terrace to enjoy the night view. As Mary prepares to leave, the hotel suddenly loses power and she tries to walk down the hotel outdoor stairs in the dark. However, in the darkness, Mary did not notice a setback next to the staircase, falling directly from a height of three meters to the concrete floor below.
Mary was immediately taken to the hospital after the accident. Unfortunately, Mary was paralyzed from the neck down and was unable to walk for the rest of her life. For this reason, Mary sued the hotel for not providing adequate lighting and guardrails, and demanded that the hotel bear responsibility for the accident.
2. The court ruled that the hotel should pay 1.19 million yuan in compensation
Security issues, these four words seem to be far away from us, but in fact, it is in our lives all the time, and each of us should pay attention to it. The accident in Changzhou not only made people feel sad and sympathetic to Mary's experience, but also made us deeply aware of the importance of safety issues.
It is understood that during the preliminary trial of the case, the court found after investigation that the hotel did not turn on any lighting facilities in the terrace area on the night of the incident, nor did it set up guardrails. Although Mary was partially negligent, the accident had a lot to do with the hotel's gross negligence. For this reason, the court ruled that the hotel should bear 70% of the liability and compensate Mary for treatment, living expenses and mental damages totaling 1.19 million yuan.
3. Both hotels and individuals should pay attention to safety
In this case, as the court decided, both parties had their own problems. As a hotel, it is incumbent upon us to ensure the safety of our guests. As a guest, Mary should also take care to take the necessary safety precautions and cannot rely solely on the hotel's safety equipment. The accident eventually resulted in the hotel paying a high amount of compensation, and Mary was unable to regain her ability to walk for the rest of her life. This is an extremely painful outcome for both sides.
1. Responsibilities of the hotel
As a high-end venue, the hotel is obliged to be responsible for any person who enters its internal activities. But it is clear that the hotel was grossly negligent in its safety responsibilities in this accident. For example, warning signs should be placed around the premises and trip signs should be placed at the operating counters or crossings to warn customers to be safe. More important is the lighting. The hotel should set up complete lighting facilities in the external staircase, corridor or villa terrace area to avoid safety incidents such as falls when customers walk in a dark environment.
2. Individuals should also improve their safety awareness
Mary, as an adult, also has a responsibility to take care of her own safety. For example, in the event of a sudden power outage in the hotel, she could have turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone, or she could have called the hotel staff to determine the situation before acting. When descending the stairs, she should also slow down and walk carefully by holding on to the railings on both sides of the stairs.
Each of us must be vigilant and cautious at all times, and cannot rely solely on the safety and security measures provided by the external environment. At the same time, we should also improve our awareness and ability of safety precautions through active learning and Xi. For example, understand how to use emergency lights, master basic self-first aid knowledge, and so on.
Fourth, all industries must put safety protection in the first place
Safety is everywhere, whether it's hotels, shopping malls, transportation companies or the various public places we frequent, only by putting safety protection in the first place can we maximize the safety of employees and customers. The following is a brief analysis of the security precautions of several types of high-risk industries.
1. Hotel industry
Increase the number of lights in outdoor staircases, balconies and other areas to ensure that every dead corner is illuminated. Install transparent guardrails and post reflective warning signs on the guardrails. Equipped with a sufficient number of emergency flashlights and regularly maintained. Formulate an emergency plan for sudden power outages and quickly start the backup power supply.
2. Construction sites
Distribute safety helmets, reflective clothing, masks, goggles and other labor protection equipment to workers and supervise their wearing. Set up perfect scaffolding, configure anti-fall ropes, and periodically check safety facilities. Conduct safety operation training for new workers, and carry out safety drills regularly.
3. Public transportation
The bus is equipped with an on-board alarm system and a surveillance video head. Metro and train stations are equipped with medical staff and monitoring rooms, and railings are set up for key areas and flyovers. Conspicuous slogans are posted on the carriages and platforms, and are regularly broadcast via radio.
Each of us wants to live safer, work safer. However, security issues need to be paid attention to and maintained by everyone, whether it is government regulatory departments, enterprises and institutions, or every citizen, they should assume their share of responsibility.
User Comments:
Some netizens said: This accident is really sad, a young woman is half-paralyzed like this, and the rest of her life can only be spent in pain. Although hotels also have responsibilities, they should reflect more on how to improve the safety awareness of ordinary people, which is important for everyone.
Some netizens also said: Walking in the dark is very dangerous in itself, and women should not act without authorization, which can be regarded as their own negligence. But as a place of service, hotels should pay more attention to safety, and they are not to blame.
Some netizens said: In fact, this is just one of the thousands of safety accidents that occur in our daily life. The bigger question that raises our thinking is, are we already aware of security enough, are we taking adequate security precautions, and have a long way to go in this regard, both as individuals and in all walks of life.
Summarizing Recommendations:
Safety is related to the survival of enterprises and the health and happiness of everyone, and it deserves our common attention and efforts. The author calls on government departments, enterprises and institutions, and the general public to earnestly strengthen security awareness and prevention capabilities. Only when everyone is responsible for safety and everyone is responsible, can we avoid more tragedies and jointly protect the safety of life.
