(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 6 – Two more workers were killed in accidents in Italy on Tuesday to take the number of fatal labour-related accidents up to five in less than two days.
A 62-year-old man died after being hit by a vehicle while unloading goods in the yard of the company where he worked in Carpiano, near Milan, early on Tuesday.
The UIL trade union said the man had retired but had been forced to find a job at a logistics centre because the cost-of-living crisis meant his pension was no longer enough.
A 24-year-old construction worker, meanwhile, died after falling from scaffolding in the Lambrate district of Milan.
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. (ANSA).
