Everyone needs to do more to counter
the steady stream of work-related deaths in Italy, Senate
Speaker Ignazio La Russa said following the death of three
workers in an explosion at the Esplodenti Sabino plant in the
Abruzzo town of Casalbordino on Wednesday.
"After this latest tragedy, which comes on top of many others,
we adhere to the words of the President of the Republic on the
need for everyone, government, majority, opposition and all
State institutions, to do more to counter this steady stream of
deaths and tragedies that strongly affects not only our
humanity, but the civil coexistence of our nation," said La
Russa.
"In memory of these three latest victims, I invite you to join
me in a moment of condolence," he told senators.
Three people also died in an accident at the Esplodenti Sabino
plant in December 2020.
On its website, the company describes itself as "a world leader
for the recovery of materials from military ammunition of
demilitarization activities, remediation of contaminated sites,
disposal of products containing explosives (airbags, safety
belts, signal flares)".
Wednesday's accident comes on the heels of a rash recent
work-related deaths, including the death of five rail
maintenance workers who were hit by a train and killed while
replacing tracks at Brandizzo station near Turin on the night of
August 30.
