Why It Matters
Two separate workplace accidents occurred on the same day in Italy.
A 23-year-old young man died early this morning inside the San Panfilo winery in Scerni, in the Chieti area, while he was working with a machine. For the young man, a university student close to graduating and probably working as a seasonal worker, there was nothing that could be done. Investigations are underway into the dynamics of the accident. The Fire Brigade and the Carabinieri intervened on site, and the mayor of Scerni Daniele Carlucci was also present.
Crushed by pipes, a worker dies at the industrial port of Cagliari
A worker was found dead this morning at the industrial port of Cagliari, the man was apparently crushed by some gigantic pipes while he worked. The dynamics of the tragedy are not yet clear and the Carabinieri and Spresal specialists are operating on site. The alarm was triggered by a person who, passing through the airport area, saw the worker's body. The 118 doctors immediately arrived on site but there was nothing left that could be done for the worker.
His name was Carlo Spiga, the 61-year-old worker from Monastir (Cagliari) who died in the accident. According to an initial reconstruction, the accident could be traced back to the failure of the straps that tightened and secured the load. Some pipes fell from above and crushed him.
They were unloading giant pipes from his truck when the load crushed him. From what we understand, a lorry driver is the victim of the workplace accident that occurred this morning inside the industrial port (called the canal port) of Cagliari. The accident occurred in the area managed by Grendi.
The carabinieri of the Cagliari Company and the Spresal are working on site and are trying to reconstruct the entire tragedy and establish responsibilities. It will be necessary to understand how and why the load of gigantic pipes that were on the semi-trailer of the truck fell during unloading operations and to establish whether all the procedures required during port operations were respected.
"This morning a serious accident occurred during which a worker belonging to a road haulage company died in the Port of Cagliari during the movement of goods. To reconstruct the dynamics of the event, the entire technical structure made itself available to the relevant offices". This is what we read in a note from Grendi regarding this morning's accident in the industrial port of Cagliari. "This dramatic event has deeply saddened Costanza and Antonio Musso, CEOs of the Grendi Group, who are reaching the Sardinian port and together with the Group are close to the serious loss of their family members and the community", concludes the note.
