A 29-year-old worker died Monday at the Port of Almería, Spain, after being buried in a mountain of gypsum 15 to 20 meters high when a detachment occurred while he was taking samples. A few minutes before 1:00 PM, the operative’s colleagues called the unified emergency service of Andalucía 112, reporting the accident and that the young man had been trapped under the gypsum, so that they could not see his body, despite several workers trying to help him with the help of personnel from the Port Police.

When responders arrived, the coworkers of the accident victim had already been able to find him, so the firemen finished extracting the body from the gypsum, although the young man no longer showed signs of life, and the medical equipment, including a mobile UVI, could only certify his death.

The Port Authority of Almería has reported that the worker was an employee of one of the companies operating in the port, and that as a work accident has been transferred to the Labor Inspection and Prevention Center Of Occupational Risks.
