A 62-year-old worker suffered severe trauma after falling approximately six meters through a warehouse roof during an inspection. The incident occurred this morning at Bimatek, a company in Castelnuovo di Asola (Mantova) that produces technological equipment for the construction industry.
The man, an employee of the firm Eco Soluzioni based in Calcinato (Brescia), had accessed the roof using a crane basket. The structure, which was partially made of asbestos, gave way beneath him. He was airlifted to the hospital in Cremona in code red, indicating a critical, life-threatening condition. His current prognosis is reserved.
Carabinieri and workplace safety technicians from ATS Val Padana were on site to carry out an investigation into the circumstances of the accident.
