Fatal electrocution during hotel construction; hotel manager recommended for penalty over failure to report
At the Ritz-Carlton Tianjin, a worker from an outsourced waterproofing company was electrocuted to death while pulling ceiling conduit. The investigation report found the construction unit had not trained workers or provided technical briefings and recommended a fine of 200,000 yuan; it also found the hotel had failed to report the accident and recommended fining the hotel manager 40% of the previous year's income. Accountability proceedings followed.
