October 13, 2021 This morning around 7.30 a 54-year-old worker fell off a walkway while on duty at the Ibl company, which produces plywood and wood panels. It happened in Coniolo Monferrato, in the province of Alessandria. He had worked the night shift and was checking a walkway. The victim, originally from Vercelli, was involved in chopping wood. Carabinieri and Spresal are operating on the spot: it is not clear in fact whether the man fell ill, and therefore fell from a height of three meters, and hit his head and died following the fall. Feneal Uil has already announced a one-hour strike.



"For us it is yet another death at work for another in a company that has recent precedents of dramatic events". So to LaPresse Franco Armosino, secretary of CGIL Alessandria, about the worker who died at Ibl in Coniolo Monferrato. "The category will decide how to deal with the event, I believe it is necessary to give a clear signal of intolerance and rejection of the habit of death at work," he added.



But it is still a black day for accidents at work because this morning also in the province of Treviso a 48-year-old Macedonian worker died in a construction site in Caerano di San Marco after being run over by a heavy metal panel that fell on him by two and a half meters high. The operators of Suem, Spisal and the Carabinieri intervened on the spot. Aid was in vain: a severe head injury caused the man's death. The 48-year-old, who lived with his family in Paderno del Grappa, leaves behind his wife and children. 



And today there is an eight-hour strike on the construction site also in Sicily, after yet another death at work which took place yesterday in Messina where around 18.30, at the construction site of the Viadotto Ritiro, on the Messina ring road of the A20 Messina-Palermo motorway, it lost its life is the 55-year-old construction worker Salvatore Ada. 



The man, a militant historian of the Feneal-Uil of Messina, was engaged in an activity not strictly connected to the workings of the viaduct, but in a storage area outside the construction site where Toto Costruzioni is engaged, says Uil, and " in order to supplement his salary to support the family, Salvatore also did overtime work ". 



He was loading some New Jersey concrete onto a truck to be transported to another Toto Costruzioni site near Cefalù. It would appear that a chain stranded in the same caused the tragic fatal accident in which Salvatore was crushed by New Jersey. 



"From the first reconstructions it seems that the man was crushed during some operations of loading new jersey of concrete on an articulated lorry. The works had nothing to do with the construction of the Viaduct:" In our name and in the name of all the staff of Autostrade Siciliane we express our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victim of the terrible accident "the note from Autostrade Siciliane.



"We are deeply saddened, Salvatore was an esteemed delegate of Feneal-Uil, as well as a worker with great professional skills. We are tired of having to cry a new innocent who fell at work - affirm Vito Panzarella, national general secretary FenealUil, Pasquale De Vardo, general secretary Feneal Uil Tirrenica Messina-Palermo, and Ivan Tripodi, general secretary Uil Messina - this ignoble slaughter must end and for today an eight-hour strike has been called at the construction site of the Viaduct Withdrawal ".

We must make a common front to protect workers and let us clarify what happened ".

Toto Costruzioni Generali will provide the family with all possible support in this dramatic moment ".
