A tragic incident occurred at a construction site in Nizhny Novgorod: during tunneling operations a 64-year-old worker died.
The man's death was recorded on October 5 at 17:05 at a site located near the intersection of Bolshaya Pechorskaya and Sechenova streets. The deceased worked as a tunneler in a separate subdivision of JSC "Mosproekt-3."
According to the State Labor Inspectorate for the Nizhny Novgorod Region, before the tragedy the man called the rigger and complained of a sharp pain in the heart area.
After that the rigger promptly reported the incident to the mine foreman, and an ambulance was called to the scene. However, the medics who arrived could no longer help — the man died before their arrival.
As noted by the chief state labor inspector in the region, Ilya Moshes, an investigation into the industrial accident is currently underway. As part of the inspection, specialists will establish the exact cause of the worker's death and the circumstances of the incident.
Earlier it became known that the State Labor Inspectorate in the Nizhny Novgorod Region organized an inspection over the death of one of Russia's top head chefs, Oleg Kolisnichenko.
It was also reported that Rostrud is investigating the circumstances of a worker's death at a foundry plant in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.
