Almost 500 people have been killed in
work accidents among payrolled steady workers in Italy so far
this year, the national observatory on the phenomenon said
Friday.
Former engineering worker Carlo Soricelli, who complies the
figures, said 492 people had died at work from January 1 to June
20 this year.
But the figure rises to 670 if temp and gig workers are
included, he said.
The sectors where most people have died are agriculture,
construction and haulage, he said.
Italy is seeing a long spate of fatal workplace accidents.
Te spotlight has returned on gangmastering after a 31-year-old
Indian farm labourer, Satnam Singh, was left to die with his
severed arm placed beside him after a farm machinery accident at
Latina south of Rome this week.
