A fatal illness , while working in the sun , in the hottest hours of the day, in Lodi. The victim is a 44-year-old worker.

The man, according to what was reconstructed, was in the ecological pitch of via Secondo Cremonesi, a concrete clearing without trees and without shade. Around noon, while using spray paint to make road markings, he collapses on the ground. He can't say anything, not even to feel bad . A colleague helps him and warns the health workers.

Resuscitation is also attempted with a defibrillator, then transport to hospital where the man arrives in very serious conditions. But attempts to save his life were useless.

« A drama as absurd as it is avoidable - underlines the general secretary for Pavia and Lodi of the Cisl, Elena Maga -. First of all, there is an Inps circular which clearly states that layoffs can be triggered without problems above 35 degrees centigrade in construction. Then, under the sun, this season, work on asphalt and concrete should be questioned and managed absolutely differently. One should not always go to the dead in extreme situations to change things. We should do time articulation in a different way. Work at night. I will immediately ask Ats a question to see if all the work rules were respected and we will do the same with the Prefecture. We will not let this mourning go unnoticed.

« You can not die on the job from too much heat . In the hottest hours, all precautions must be taken to avoid tragedies such as that of Lodi - denounces Nicola Fratoianni, national secretary of the Italian Left -. These days we are facing a wave of abnormal heat and unbearable levels. Perhaps it is the case that in the hottest hours all useful precautions are taken to avoid tragedies such as the one that occurred in Lodi ».
