Special commission to investigate worker’s death at Belarusian NPP
A special commission is investigating the death of a worker at the Belarusian NPP construction site. The work inspectorate of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection is in charge of the investigation, BELTA reports.
The tragedy occurred on Friday, August 26 at 4.20 p.m. Unofficial reports about the incident appeared on Facebook first. A short notice was distributed by the Republican unitary enterprise Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant later. It was reported that a worker had died during construction works at the construction site of the Belarusian NPP. The Investigation Committee reported more details later. A metal container fell upon a 43-year-old fitter from RosSEM Trust.
The violation of safety rules could be the reason for the tragedy, BELTA refers to Nizhniy Novgorod engineering company Atitomenergo project (NIAEP). All the information has been presented to Belarus and an internal investigation is in process, Russians say.
The worker’s body has been delivered home, to Russia.
