On the 28th, at the Yeongheung Thermal Power Plant in Incheon, a driver carrying cargo in a car crashed 3.5 m and died.

Although there is always the risk of accidents, there were no safety managers on site.

Last Saturday around 1 pm, a 50-year-old truck driver crashed and died at the Yeongheung Thermal Power Plant.

He fell from a 3.5 m high cargo container while transporting coal ash from the power plant to a car.

At the time, Mr. A was working alone and there was no security manager on site.

However, field workers testify that there was always the risk of accidents, like a crash two months ago.

[이강조 / 화물차 노동자 : 위험하다 또 다른 사고가 이어질 거라고. 상차하기 전에 뚜껑이라도 (안전하게) 열 수 있는 어떤 안전조치를 취해달라고 요구했습니다. 근데 아직까지 별다르게 이뤄진 건 없습니다.]

Loading and unloading cargo is not essentially the job of the truck driver.

There should be a separate staff in charge of loading and unloading the cargo, but it was left to the driver for reasons such as cost reduction.

Bereaved family members who visited the power plant and checked the workplace and CCTV erupted in anguish saying that safety management was poor and that there was a problem with the initial action immediately after the accident.

[숨진 화물차 기사 가족 : 다 아니라고 하고 책임회피만 하는데. 우리 아빠 억울해서 어떻게 할 거야.]

He also claimed that the power plant was trying to hand over responsibility to the subcontractor to which the trucker belongs.

[심용선 / 숨진 화물차 기사 가족 : 거기다 책임 전가를 하는 거예요. 거기를 우리가 압력을 넣을 테니까 거기하고 어떻게 얘기를 잘 해봐라. 어이가 없잖아요. 사고 장소가, 사망 장소가 영흥화력발전소인데 왜 우리가 그 사람들하고 하냐.]

The police and the Employment and Labor Administration are determining whether the safety measures have been taken correctly at the accident scene and who is responsible for the safety management.

In early September, at the Taean Thermal Power Station, an accident occurred in which a driver of 60 trucks, carrying two tons of equipment in a single vehicle, was covered in equipment and died.

It’s just different in time and place, and if you open it up, structurally the same accidents continue, and there’s a growing voice that a countermeasure is urgent to prevent recurrence.
