Hellish Sand Machine Kills Worker on Pančevački Road!
A horrifying tragedy struck Pančevački Road where a worker from a company extracting sand and gravel from the Danube, V.V. (69), died in the most gruesome way. The accident happened when V.V. entered the sand extraction machine to repair it, and another worker, unaware that he was inside, started the machine. The result? Severe, fatal injuries for V.V., who died before the ambulance arrived.
How Did This Tragedy Happen?
It all happened in a split second. V.V. was trying to service the sand and gravel extraction machine but did not inform his colleague about being inside the dangerous area. The other worker unknowingly started the machine, leading to the accident. The duty prosecutor immediately conducted an investigation, and the victim’s body was sent for forensic autopsy.
Is This Just an Accident or a Systemic Problem?
This tragedy casts a shadow on safety protocols in companies working with heavy machinery. How is it possible for a worker to enter a machine without proper protection and coordination? Are workers adequately trained, and do employers follow safety measures? These questions urgently need answers.
Workplace Accident Numbers in Serbia Still Alarming
Unfortunately, such tragedies are not rare. Statistics show that many workplace accidents happen annually in Serbia, especially in industries involving heavy machinery. Lack of proper protection, carelessness, and poor organization are often the main culprits.
What’s Next?
It is urgent for authorities to increase inspections and for companies to implement stricter safety measures. Workers must be trained and warned about dangers, and communication at the workplace must be flawless. Every worker deserves to return home alive and well.
Conclusion
This tragedy on Pančevački Road is a warning to all of us. We must not allow such things to happen again. Workplace safety is not a luxury but a duty. Until this is taken seriously, the number of such accidents will not decrease.
