China Launches Nationwide Campaign Against Falls in Housing and Municipal Construction

TREE NEWS update: China’s Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development launched a nationwide special campaign on Wednesday to prevent falls from height in housing and municipal construction projects, running until February 6, 2027, ahead of the Spring Festival. Regulators will conduct full-coverage inspections and differentiated oversight, and by March 31, 2027, all projects under construction must have their construction safety supervision certificates reissued as electronic licenses. Reissuance requires on-site pre-construction checks of fall-protection measures, and projects that fail to meet conditions will not receive new certificates or permission to start work.
