Contractor Killed By Forklift at Smelter in Brazil.


It has been 6 months since the local contractor at a smelter in Brazil died from injuries sustained when hit by a forklift in October 2011.



"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this very difficult time for us all," the plant's managing director said after the accident, adding that the smelter is in the process of establishing a committee to investigate the incident.

The contractor was immediately taken to hospital in the nearby city following the incident, which occurred just before 6 p.m. local time last Thursday.
