Worker falls into tank and dies near Verona

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 3 - An unnamed worker died after falling into a tank or cistern in the Verona area on Friday, local sources said.
    The accident occurred today in Pressana (Verona).
    The 118 emergency services with Carabinieri and Fire Brigade responded and were at the scene.
    But the man was extracted from the cistern already lifeless, and they could do nothing for him.
    An autopsy has been ordered.
    The accident was the latest in a long and shocking spate of Italian workplace fatalities that have garnered headlines and spurred government action, so far without much success.
    Fatal workplace accidents actually fell 10.7% last year but this was due to the effects of the COVID-19 emergency fading away, a survey said earlier this week. (ANSA).
