(ANSA) – ROME, AUG 21 – A 28-year-old worker was killed by a forklift in the early hours of the morning in the Bologna area, the latest in a spate of accidental workplace deaths in Italy.
Working a night shift, the man was operating a forklift to move bags of pellets inside the Green Energy company when, according to an initial reconstruction, the vehicle struck and crushed him, possibly due to a brake not being engaged.
The young worker was of Pakistani origin, a legal resident in Italy.
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.
The government met trade unions in May to discuss the issue of health and safety.
Workplace accident insurance agency INAIL recently said that work-related deaths had risen by 8.37% to 205 in the first quarter of the year. (ANSA).
