A worker has been seriously injured after being hit by a bulldozer
The ELA union has reported that a VCL worker suffered a "serious" work-related accident at the Port of Bilbao last Tuesday, according to which he was trapped between a shovel and a car.
A female worker was seriously injured the day before yesterday while working at the Port of Bilbao when she was hit by a bulldozer.
The ELA union has reported that the work-related accident occurred last Tuesday and that the VCL worker was trapped between a shovel and a car .
According to the union, the activity in the port of Bilbao is a "high-risk" area, on the one hand because of the machinery and materials used and, on the other hand, because many workers from different companies work at the same time and in the same place.
In this regard, ELA adds that "often" coordination between these companies and workers is not done properly and this "significantly" increases the risk.
On the other hand, ELA has announced that it will call for an investigation into the accident at work with the aim of implementing the relevant preventive measures and has announced that it will announce actions in the coming days to report the accident at work.
So far this year, 47 workers have died in work-related accidents in Hego Euskal Herria, according to ELA, 11 in Bizkaia, 9 in Gipuzkoa, 7 in Álava and 20 in Navarre.
