Italy records two serious construction site falls, workers hospitalized

On Tuesday, June 30, a construction worker in his fifties fell four metres at a renovation site of the former hospital in Ovada, Italy. He was rescued by emergency services, including a helicopter ambulance, and was taken to Alessandria hospital with a yellow code. Police and safety inspectors are investigating the incident.

A day earlier, a 31‑year‑old Moroccan worker fell roughly three metres at a workshop in the Bassette industrial area near Cesena. He was taken by ambulance to Bufalini Hospital with suspected leg fracture and possible head trauma. Local police and occupational health officials are gathering statements and technical evidence. Both accidents underscore the high risk of falls in construction and temporary workspaces, a leading cause of serious injuries in the sector.
