A 60-year-old man is dead after being
hit by a vehicle while unloading goods in the yard of the
company where he worked in Carpiano, near Milan, in Italy's
fourth fatal workplace accident in two days.
On Monday a worker was electrocuted in the Ciociaria area
between Rome and Naples, a construction worker fell to his death
near Naples and another worker was killed at a metal plant in
Veneto.
Premier Giorgia Meloni said her government was allocating 650
million euros in new money to boost workplace health and safety
before the May Day national holiday last week.
The government will meet trade unions on Thursday to discuss the
issue of health and safety.
Workplace accident insurance agency INAIL said Monday that
work-related deaths had risen by 8.37% to 205 in the first
quarter of the year.
