Died at work in Sassari, the unions: "Unacceptable tragedy"

The investigation by the Sassari public prosecutor's office into the death of Davide Da Costa , the 22-year-old Sassari worker who died at the Sassari civil hospital, will serve to clarify the causes of yet another fatal accident in the workplace.

The young man who was crushed between the trailer he was moving and a maneuvering truck at the Romeg vehicle scrapping company was hospitalized in serious condition yesterday morning at Santissima Annunziata. The clinical situation worsened in the afternoon until his death, found before 5pm.

Investigations into possible responsibilities are entrusted to the mobile team of the Police Headquarters together with the experts of Spresal and the Asl service which is responsible for protecting the health and safety of workers in the workplace.

"An unacceptable tragedy" for the general secretaries of the CGIL, CISL and UIL of Sassari, Francesca Nurra, Pier Luigi Ledda and Marco Foddai , "a growing phenomenon which confirms that it is absolutely urgent and necessary to intervene to reverse and improve a situation it is becoming more and more serious and unsustainable". The unions are sounding the alarm and proposing the only way forward. "The solution - they argue - lies in safety, understood as a priority, in prevention and training, in common attention and vigilance".

In 2022, in Sardinia alone there were 16 victims at work compared to 670 nationally. «It is necessary that companies in every sector follow qualification criteria», propose Nurra, Ledda and Foddai «and that it is binding to apply also in private tenders, as has been reconfirmed for public tenders, only the collective labor agreements stipulated by Comparatively more representative trade unions".
