Accident at work today, Thursday, in Cancello and Arnone, in the Caserta area: a massacre that doesn’t stop. The injury happened on a fiber optic construction site: the sixty-two-year-old victim Raffaele Boemio, originally from Afragola and employee of the Dap company in Nola. For reasons still under investigation, the man ended up in a cement mixer. The body has been seized for an autopsy. The police are investigating; This is the eighteenth victim in Campania since the beginning of the year. According to what we learned, Boemio was close to retirement, a goal that she would have reached only in a few months. In the same small town in the Caserta area a few weeks ago a worker who was operating the arm of a crane was electrocuted.
«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. Those who need to work to live cannot lose their lives while working, it is unacceptable”, he states Sonia Oliviero, secretary of Cgil Caserta. «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, compliance with the legislation and of the rules. They’re necessary active labor policies 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 deathbecause tears and dismay do not bring workers back to life and, above all, they do not serve to prevent fatal accidents.”
