Regarding the death of a cleaning worker who fell at a university in Busan, it was revealed that there were no handrails at the accident site.

According to the Yonhap News coverage on the 13th, at 10:12 a.m. on the 12th, a student passing by found B, a woman in her 50s, lying unconscious behind the main building of University A and reported it.

Mr. B was an employee of A University's cleaning service company and was taken to the hospital immediately after being discovered, but eventually died.

Police checked CCTV footage from the scene and found that Mr. B suddenly fell from a 4.5m high retaining wall 40 minutes before he was discovered.

It is known that Mr. B suffered an accident while walking in a flower bed on a retaining wall.

Although the area just below the retaining wall was relatively high, there was no railing at the edge to prevent a fall.

In addition, because it was a place with few people, Mr. B was not found until 40 minutes after the crash occurred, missing the 'golden time'.

A police official said, "There are railings around the flower beds of the retaining wall, but there were no railings at the point where Mr. B entered." He added, "We are investigating not only the specific circumstances of the accident but also whether anyone involved was negligent."

After the accident occurred, the university formed an 'Accident Handling and Reoccurrence Prevention Countermeasures Committee' to provide funeral support and conduct safety inspections of all school facilities.

As a result, it was determined that there were about 10 locations in need of improvement.

In addition to the police investigation, the Busan Employment and Labor Office is investigating violations of the Act on Punishment of Serious Accidents and the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

An official from the Labor Office explained, "The service company that Mr. B belongs to has more than 5 full-time workers and is subject to the Severe Wife Act, etc.," and added, "We will investigate whether the law applies to the service company as well as the university."
