Remained trapped in the warper machine she was working on, and from which she was dragged and killed instantly. So she died Luana D’Orazio, 22, originally from Pistoia and mother of a five-year-old boy, in a textile company in Oste di Montemurlo, in the Prato district, where she had been working for about a year. At her side, turned from behind, there was another colleague who reported that “he had not heard screams for help”, but immediately raised the alarm and tried to help her, in vain. Carabinieri and ASL personnel arrived at the scene of the accident for safety in the workplace. Two machines were seized, and not one as initially reported: both the one where the fatal accident occurred, and its twin, to carry out the necessary checks and understand if the machinery presented anomalies or failures.
The investigation
The Prato prosecutor has opened an investigation into the death of the young worker and has entered two people in the register of suspects with the hypothesis of manslaughter. According to investigative sources, these are investigations related to the technical investigations that are also focusing on the evaluation of the functioning of the safety devices of the textile machinery, a warper, in which Luana D’Orazio got stuck on May 3 in a company in Montemurlo. .
Trade unions: “Safety at work continues to be considered only a cost”
The body of the deceased woman is now in the Pistoia hospital, awaiting the autopsy that will clarify the causes of death. The local CGIL, CISL and UIL trade unions are organizing a “strong mobilization action” for next Friday. In a joint note they observe: «It is impossible not to point out that even today people die for the same reasons and in the same way as fifty years ago: from being crushed into a machine, from falling from a roof. Nothing seems to have changed, despite the technological development of machinery and safety systems ». And finally: «It is as if technology stops at the threshold of factories and large rooms. Where people continue to die and where, too often, security continues to be considered only a cost ».
Pieraccioni: “Terrible news, the memory of that scene adds even more pain”
Leonardo Pieraccioni also wanted to remember the young woman, who had worked as an extra in the film They are riversis. “The memory of that scene of a carefree party of twenty-year-olds adds even more pain – explains the actor -, because life at twenty should be and continue like this, like a party. This is terrible news, given his age and the manner of the accident. Leave a five-year-old child, there are no words. As much as it may help, I send a very strong hug to his family ».
