He was hit by a flame that broke out from a bin in the road sign paint company where he works, Omega Color, in Vignate. A 28-year-old worker suffered second-degree burns in various parts of his body. Transported by air ambulance to Niguarda, his life is not in danger, as it had initially seemed.
The injury occurred yesterday at 10.30 am. Ats inspectors and the Pioltello police were on the field to reconstruct the causes of the accident. The 118 medics provided first aid to the injured person, while the firefighters made the shed safe after the company workers had put out the fire using the fire extinguishers supplied. Other colleagues were treated, fortunately under code green. The dramatic sequence of events closely resembles that of a few days ago, in Brugherio, where, in another paint company, Mega Wilckens, Amadou Sanneh, a 24-year-old employee originally from Gambia, lost his life after an explosion. Similar dynamics, fortunately different outcome.
The facts turn the spotlight back on the phenomenon with war bulletin numbers, 3 deaths a day at work in Italy, black jersey for Lombardy, which last year had to deal with 172 victims (52 in the first quarter of 2026).
