On Monday, workers at the Hellenic construction site are on a strike on Monday after the serious work accident on Friday morning.

According to the Workers’ Association at the construction site, a 57 -year -old builder was carrying out an elevator well when he suddenly fell into a 9 -meter -long vacuum, resulting in severely injured heads, waist and other parts of his body.

Balsamos Syrigos, president of the Association and a member of the Administration of the Federation of Builders of Greece, told “902” that the worker was working in a well “without any security measures, no seat belt, without the scaffolding. He worked to unravel, leaving the vacuum and falling 3 floors down, 9 meters in total. It is one of the many accidents that are happening. Three days ago the air took the air. It is confirmed that the spaces have become Tempi. “

The president noted that workers would respond with a 24 -hour strike, claiming “here and now to take security measures. To give personal protection to all employees, to have approved scaffolding everywhere, to have an ambulance in the area, as the company has promised and has not been done, so when someone is injured, to make more than an hour to go to the hospital. Implement the contract signed by the Federation of Builders. “

Employees, in more detail, claim:

  • Take all health and safety measures to protect workers from accidents and occupational diseases.
  • Substantial control of employer responsibility by state control mechanisms to all companies in the project. Substantial training of all staff. Approved scaffolding throughout the project.
  • Implementation of the Collective Convention of our Federation, keeping the hours and 5th day to all companies and contractors of the site.
  • Immediately ensure the presence of EKAB unit in the area staffed with health care for as long as the project has been committed, as Lamda has pledged for a year.
