(CNA Reporter Hung Su-chin, Taipei, 24th) Actor Chen Chu-sheng plays a subway worker who falls ill due to an occupational accident in the drama "Urban Founder". Having started his career behind the scenes in theater, he deeply understands the relatively weak occupational safety environments of the early years and sighs that occupational safety concepts are actually exchanged for painful lessons time and again.
Through a press release, Chen shared that he originated from the theater, doing almost everything hands-on from setting up stages, lighting, and sound to outdoor concerts. Therefore, he has a fresh memory of the relatively weak occupational safety environments in the early years. "It was very common to climb high to set up a stage without wearing a safety helmet or a safety rope in the past." He had also heard of cases where staff members fell from the high places of the stage due to accidents and unfortunately lost their lives. This made him sigh that many occupational safety concepts are actually exchanged for painful lessons time and again.
Speaking of the filming regulations for this drama at the subway construction site, Chen said that entering and exiting the filming site requires full gear, including a safety helmet, long pants, and closed shoes, with not a single item missing. The safety management is quite strict. When filming scenes of tunnel excavation engineering and high-altitude operations, the crew also arranged safety protection measures such as steel cables to ensure the actors' safety throughout the process.
Recalling his experience of working hard in the theater in his early years, Chen revealed that he once accidentally shot a nail into the flesh of his index finger while using a pneumatic nail gun. He was terrified on the spot and was rushed to the hospital to successfully have it removed. Talking about his personal experience, Chen frankly said that every seemingly daily work detail actually hides risks, "You really can't be careless for a moment." (Editor: Hsieh Ya-chu) 1150424
