[]

Spain’s Labour Inspectorate has concluded that failures to comply with workplace health and safety regulations by construction company Manuel Alba S.A. were the underlying cause of the fatal workplace accident at Atlanterra in April, according to the CCOO del Hábitat trade union.
The union said the findings followed a complaint it lodged after a worker died at a construction site in the Atlanterra area of Tarifa.
The resolution also includes an increase in compensation payments for the deceased worker’s heirs, a measure that CCOO had requested.
CCOO welcomed the Labour Inspectorate’s investigation into the incident.
The union also renewed its calls for greater resources to strengthen workplace health and safety monitoring and enforcement.
