Recently, a housing prefabricated slab fracture accident occurred in Fengshou Community, Guanba Town, Zhongxian County, Chongqing, which is distressing. According to a notice issued by the Chung County Emergency Management Agency on April 12, the accident killed two people and injured three others, one of whom has been discharged from the hospital and two injured are being treated, but fortunately they are out of danger. And the root cause of this tragedy comes from "cutting corners".

Cutting corners: the tragedy and safety hazards of self-built houses

According to the preliminary judgment of the experts' on-site investigation, the main reason for the accident was that the bearing load of the floor slab on the second floor was too large, which exceeded the design bearing capacity of the prefabricated slab, resulting in brittle fracture of the floor slab and finally falling, causing irreparable casualties and losses. And behind this house, a common problem of self-built houses is exposed: cutting corners.

It is understood that the house involved is a three-story self-built house, and its structure is not solid. The third floor is a residence, the second floor is a warehouse for storing bottled water, and the first floor is a mahjong parlor. However, while the house may look like the surrounding buildings, it has a number of safety hazards. At the time of the incident, the sudden fracture of the floor slab not only caused casualties to the people in the house, but also triggered a profound torture about the safety of the self-built house.

The rapid development of self-built housing in the process of urbanization has brought a series of problems, including the phenomenon of cutting corners. In order to save costs, many owners of self-built houses will adopt various means, such as using inferior building materials and reducing project investment. However, these short-sighted behaviors will not only affect the service life and quality of the house, but also pose a direct threat to the safety of residents' lives and property.

In the face of the prominent safety problems of self-built houses, the government and relevant departments urgently need to strengthen the management and supervision of self-built houses. First, the planning review of self-built homes should be strengthened to ensure that they meet building standards and safety requirements. Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the building materials market and put an end to the inflow of fake and shoddy products. Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and inspection of self-built projects, and promptly discover and rectify the existing safety hazards.

At the same time, the majority of residents should also enhance their awareness of safety and should not neglect their own safety in pursuit of economic interests. When choosing housing, you should give preference to a regular housing developer or housing construction company to ensure the quality and safety of the house. Only when governments, businesses and residents work together can we build a safer and more secure home. Such a tragedy should not be repeated again. #春日生活打卡季#
