(ANSA) - ROME, APR 30 - Every workplace accident death is
unacceptable, President Sergio Mattarella said in a speech in
Calabria marking Wednesday's Labour Day holiday on Tuesday amid
a spate of such deaths that has reaped over 125 lives so far
this year, and around 1,000 last year.
"We cannot accept the continuous trickle of deaths, caused by
carelessness, by recklessness, by risks that should not have
been taken," said the president on the spate that included seven
workers killed in a hydro power plant blast near Bologna earlier
this month.
"One thousand deaths at work in a year represents an
unimaginable tragedy.
"Every one of these is unacceptable". (ANSA).
