(Thanks to Dik for this link.)
The official China Daily newspaper said the accident happened when a tower crane collapsed, triggering the collapse of the entire construction platform as the night shift was being relieved by the morning shift.
The root cause may have been crane loading and operation rather than scaffold integrity.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

"Although authorities did not disclose details about the 13 detentions, the focus of the investigation has turned to the power plant's operator, Jiangxi Ganneng, and a major engineering firm, Hebei Yineng, which has taken on multiple high-profile power plant projects and has a history of workplace fatalities."

RE: Scaffolding Collapse
Also, if the crane collapse was the root cause, the scaffolding might even have been as per spec. & standards.
I definitely side up with the idea transmitted by the aircraft industry where sufficiently independent and sufficiently "powered" authorities run substantial technical investigations into accidents & provide feedback into the industry .. (well, I guess its not always as one hopes it should be...)
..admit looking "Mayday Air crash investigation" series on youtube sometimes & try to learn my bit...

In my view, a selection of those reports (not just the ones touching on our own industries) ought to be required regular reading for all of us.
