On the morning of July 8, 2024, in New Taipei City, an aluminum window worker suddenly collapsed on the scaffolding of the 15th floor and was urgently rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead. With the recent high temperatures, other workers revealed that the scaffolding and concrete absorb heat, wearing a 'safety helmet' during work increases the perceived temperature by five degrees more than usual, and it is necessary to constantly replenish fluids to prevent heatstroke.
