According to data collected by ELA, a 29-year-old young man has died in a work accident at the company Elaborados Naturales de la Ribera, located in the Bodega Romana de Funes industrial estate (Navarra). The worker was seriously injured after having his arm trapped in a machine yesterday, finally dying today.
So far this year, 43 people have died in their workplace at Hego Euskal Herria, 15 of them in Navarra, which continues to lead the way in workplace accidents. Entrapments continue to be one of the main causes of fatal accidents, totally avoidable with basic safety measures, and this occurs because employers systematically fail to comply with prevention regulations, and public institutions refuse to increase inspection means to control such non-compliance. .
To denounce this latest workplace death, ELA will gather next Thursday, October 10, at 11:00, in front of the headquarters of the Government of Navarra.
