Construction Safety during Pandemics: Learning from the Xinjia Express Hotel Collapse during COVID-19 in China

Many construction accidents occur in China each year, leading to a large number of deaths, injures, and property losses. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, little attention is paid to construction safety, resulting in severe accidents. To prevent construction accidents and learn to how address safety...
