HANGZHOU: The State safety watchdog has found the contractor's management was poor and the local government's supervision lax during an investigation into the subway tunnel collapse on Saturday.

The accident in Hangzhou killed eight people and left 13 trapped under tons of debris in a huge crater.

"Not implementing proper safety measures, not attending to hidden problems decisively, properly and on time, poor safety training, substandard labor management, messy on-site control and the local government's lax supervision" have been found, a circular posted on the State Administration of Work Safety website said.

The China Railway Construction Co (CRCC) is the contracted builder for the subway.

Though efforts are on to rescue the 13 people still trapped, the chances of any one of them still being alive are slim.

The workers who survived the accident or were rescued, too, said safety measures were very poor.

"The only safety measure were the helmets we wore," Zhu Juzhong, 56, said. By any safety standard, the company's management "is bad", the Sichuan native said.

Others complained that they had not received any pre-work safety training.

Song Changfa, who survived the accident but broke his leg, said some of his fellow villagers had never worked at a construction site before but still did not get any training.
