When allowed to speak to only one department in
an aluminium plant. We request maintenance. Why? Because no other workers are
exposed to more hazards than maintenance. Here is a recent incident highlighting
the hazards in a maintenance department.
A commission chaired by a senior state labor inspector completed an
investigation into a fatal accident that occurred in (location name omitted) at
the end of October 2022.
Recall that on that day, on the territory of the foundry of (company name
omitted), located on (name omitted) Highway, during the repair of the hydraulic
cylinder of the furnace, its cover fell on a 50-year-old repairman. He received
serious injuries from which he died in the hospital.
The commission found out that the causes of the incident were the
imperfection of the technological process and the unsatisfactory organization
of work.
Thus, the enterprise did not have technological documentation for the
dismantling and repair of the (name omitted) furnace, indicating safety
measures and a list of the equipment used. Also, there was no proper control
over the repair - the work was carried out with the lid raised, and when
dismantling the hydraulic cylinder, it abruptly fell on the repairman, crushing
him to the furnace.
The commission also found the officials responsible for the violations.
The materials of the investigation against them were sent to the investigating
authorities.
