SHANGHAI - The municipal government released 22 circulars on Tuesday to strengthen safety management of construction in Shanghai, urging builders to learn a painful lesson from the deadly blaze on Nov 15.
The fire, which claimed 58 lives, started with nylon netting on scaffolding surrounding a high rise ignited by unlicensed welders during renovations.
The renovation project had been illegally subcontracted, according to a preliminary investigation report.
