Italy's recent spate of fatal
workplace accidents continued on Tuesday with the death of a
36-year-old man at a foundry in San Paolo d'Argon, in the
northern province of Bergamo.
Regional Emergency Agency AREU said that the man died following
a fall at the plant, which produces aluminium components for
cars.
Two workers died in Italy on Monday, including an 18-year-old
who fell down a gorge on his first day on the job as a game
warden.
The spate of workplace deaths includes that of Laila El Harim, a
40-year-old woman originally from Morocco who died last week at
a plant at Camposanto, in the northern province of Modena, after
getting caught up in the machine she was working on.
She left behind a four-year-old daughter and her partner.
There was a similar case in May, when another woman, Luana
D'Orazio, was snagged by the gears of a textile machine and
crushed to death at a plant at Oste di Montemurlo near Prato.
She left behind a five-year-old son.
