ARIAV said that, when working at height, workers should adhere to safety protocols including wearing a safety helmet, and that platforms should also be equipped with railings and other protective barriers. Those working on platforms that are power-operated should wear a full-body harness, the association added. Authorities said in a statement that the Labour Department is investigating the accident. According to its website, HAECO is an aircraft engineering and maintenance company based at the Hong Kong International Airport. It is under the Swire Group.

Chinese university investigating 6-year-old’s death in gene-editing trial
A Chinese university is looking into reports that a gene-editing trial caused the death of a six-year-old girl, which was not disclosed in the published research, the school said on Sunday.

The girl, given the pseudonym “Mei”, died last year around a week after receiving a spinal infusion of trillions of viruses designed to penetrate the brain for treatment, according to a joint investigation by Science and Retraction Watch. The experimental gene therapy was meant to fix a rare genetic condition that caused a delay in cognitive development, the report said on Thursday. Neuroscientist Zilong Qiu, the lead researcher, went on to publish a paper on related animal studies in the prestigious journal Nature that made no mention of Mei. In response, the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine said in a statement that it “attaches great importance to the matter and has set up a special working group to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the incident”.

The statement added that “serious action” would be taken in accordance with the investigation’s findings. Mei’s parents, who paid more than US$800,000 to fund the experiment, were not adequately informed about the risks, the report by Science and Retraction Watch said. Qiu was aiming to offer the world’s first gene-editing therapy directed at the brain, rewriting the mutated gene in her neurons so she could make a vital protein, it said. The previously undisclosed death is a fresh blow to China’s ambitions to rival the United States as a biotech power following the 2018 scandal around He Jiankui, a biophysicist who secretly produced gene-edited babies.
