A worker died on Tuesday after apparently being struck by steel bars that fell from a construction site in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Police said the incident happened at around 12.30pm at a building site on Ashley Road.
A 43-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment but was certified dead shortly afterwards.
Officers said they believe around 20 reinforcement bars had fallen down.
Labour minister Chris Sun said he is deeply saddened by the accident, adding that officials will conduct a thorough probe into the tragedy.
“We have issued a suspension notice to the construction site. We will conduct an investigation in a stringent manner according to the law, to find out the cause of the incident.”
