Three Workplace Deaths in Italy Prompt Criminal Inquiries and a Site Seizure

Investigators focus on safety lapses plus irregular employment against a backdrop of hundreds of deaths reported by INAIL this year.

Overview

  • A 61-year-old laborer in Trecase was killed by a falling masonry beam during home renovation work, with Carabinieri leading the reconstruction of events.
  • Prosecutors in Torre Annunziata opened a case and seized the Trecase site, which investigators said lacked the required SCIA and other authorizations under review.
  • Authorities reported the Trecase victim was not formally employed and was working without basic protective gear, including a helmet.
  • In Pomigliano d'Arco, 31-year-old Vasile Bujac died in hospital after an Oct. 4 autodemolition workshop explosion, with an autopsy ordered as Carabinieri probe a reported LPG cylinder blast.
  • A 58-year-old worker died at a Ventimiglia construction site, with the dynamics still unclear as Carabinieri examine whether a medical episode or a fall preceded the excavator’s overturning.
