On site, a Carrara emergency doctor, a nursing vehicle, and an ambulance from the Carrara Public Assistance, as well as law enforcement, intervened.

The investigations will clarify the circumstances that led to the fatal accident.
Feneal Uil, Filca Cisl, and Fillea Cgil of Lucca and Massa Carrara reacted by declaring an eight-hour strike throughout the Apuan-Versilian marble district for tomorrow, August 6. “Unfortunately, the escalation of serious accidents in this sector does not stop and this morning a worker lost his life,” reads the joint statement released by the trade unions. “It is not possible to continue like this. It is right for everyone to stop and reflect. Finding the strength to continue working as if nothing happened is not possible.” In recent years, after a phase in which “perhaps things seemed to change,” the accident situation, according to the unions, has worsened again.

“We are all definitely making some mistakes,” they say, highlighting some critical issues related to work organization. According to the unions, situations are increasingly frequent where “too many workers do multiple things simultaneously without due attention” and where production rhythms are “often too high,” also considering the new climatic conditions to which workers are exposed. The unions therefore call for an urgent dialogue among all parties involved: employers, workers, union representatives, institutions, and the Health Authority. “It is necessary to meet face to face urgently,” they conclude, “to find solutions.”
The mayor of Carrara Serena Arrighi expresses condolences and closeness to the family of the worker who died on the job. “It is news that leaves us stunned,” she comments, “and deeply affects our city. We are facing a tragedy that involves a family, colleagues, and the entire working world of our territory. Workplace safety,” Mayor Arrighi emphasized again, “is a topic on which we must never relax our attention. There is a table specifically related to the stone sector, and in September we already intended to carry out initiatives that are now more important than ever,” involving all parties, because “it is not right not to return home from work.”
