The accident happened on Thursday, when the man became trapped under the load of a truck. The unions LAB, ESK, STEILAS, Hiru and EHNE-Etxalde have called for a mobilization for next Tuesday at 12.30 pm.
A worker has been seriously injured when he became trapped under the load of a truck business package 3 from Bergara, as reported on Friday by the LAB union.
On Thursday afternoon, a transporter sitting in the cab of a truck heard “a loud noise” and realized it one of the workers had dropped the load on himselfthe union said in a statement.
Loading and unloading “entails a series of risks”, said LAB, which criticized the fact that the injured worker carried out the task “completely alone”.
LAB has pointed out that entrepreneurs who: failure to comply with occupational health regulations “they are killing workers” and stressed that “this attitude cannot go unpunished.”
For all these reasons, it calls on companies to develop loading and unloading procedures “that anticipate risks” and “take all necessary measures”.
LABORATORY accuses the Basque government of “complicity” with companies that do not comply with regulations and states that Osalan has become a ‘consultancy firm without capacity’ while the labor inspectorate ‘barely has any inspectors’.
The unions LAB, ESK, STEILAS, Hiru and EHNE-Etxalde have made an appeal mobilization for next Tuesday at 12:30 PM at the Larramendi industrial estate in the San Juan de Bergara district to report this latest accident.
By LAB’s count, so far this year 24 people died in industrial accidents and hundreds of people have been injured.
