Why It Matters
The victims were employees of a company contracted to build a precast warehouse. The accident occurred during the operation of a Munck truck to fix the roof.
According to the Military Police, Douglas Silva Maduro died instantly. The other workers were identified as Alisson Alves de Castro and Caio Santiago Santos. They were taken to Roberto Silvares Hospital, in São Mateus. There is no information about their health status.
According to the report to authorities, the assistants were working on fixing the shed's roof. They were operating a Munck truck, a vehicle equipped with an articulated arm hydraulic system used to load, unload, lift and move heavy loads.
During installation, the structure collapsed. One of the pillars of the warehouse was over the body of the fatal victim, making it necessary for the Fire Department to use a truck to remove the debris from the structure.
According to the farm owner, the victims were employees of a company hired to build a pre-molded warehouse around 60 days ago. At the time of the accident, six people were working on the site: the three victims, the supervisor and two other assistants, who were not injured.
In a note, lawyer Daniel Calazans de Faria, representing the farm owner, informed that the contracted company was responsible for supplying the materials, labor, managing the execution and operational support of the work.
The Municipal Civil Defense of Pedro Canário was not called to respond to the incident and reported that there are no municipal parameters established for issuing construction permits.
According to the Civil Police, the victim's body was taken to the Regional Legal Medicine Section (SML), in Linhares, to be autopsied and released to family members. The circumstances of the accident will be investigated.
