Another tragedy at work in Campania. On the afternoon of Thursday 16 May, in Cancello and Arnone, in the Caserta area, a 62-year-old worker, Raffaele Boemio, from Afragola (Naples), lost his life while working on a fiber optic construction site.
The man, an employee of a Nola company, ended up in a cement mixer for reasons still under investigation. The rescue efforts of the 118 health workers were useless and they could not do anything other than confirm the death. The body has been seized for an autopsy. The police are investigating the case.
“An endless massacre. Another dead worker, again in our province: another life broken, while working on a construction site in Cancello and Arnone: an unacceptable massacre continues. Anyone who needs to work to live cannot lose their life while they work, it is unacceptable,” says Sonia Oliviero, secretary of CgilCaserta. “We have always – he adds – asked for compliance with the legislation on health and safety in the workplace, a business model that does not only think about profit but which puts the dignity of workers before men and women and, above all, respect for legislation and rules. Active labor policies are necessary, to hire inspectors and strengthen controls, it is necessary to invest in prevention and a culture of safety. But, above all, it is necessary to intervene on the laws that generate insecurity and death, because tears and dismay do not bring workers back to life and, above all, they do not serve to prevent fatal accidents”.
