It was on Thursday morning that a 35-year-old man fell from the roof at Coop’s warehouse in Stenby. He died from his injuries.
SVT Nyheter Västmanland has been in contact with the company responsible for the work.
– An employee of a subcontractor had an accident while investigating a roof damage, writes Christoffer Olbrich, CEO of Hjo Installation in a text message.
– What happened is deeply tragic. Our thoughts go out to relatives and affected colleagues, he continues.
Much is still unclear about the incident, which the police and the Work Environment Agency are investigating.
Coop also comments on the accident in writing:
“It is a very tragic event that leaves no one untouched. We informed our employees yesterday as quickly as possible after the accident and gave them the opportunity to talk about what happened. There is of course a tense atmosphere when something like this happens in connection with the workplace. Our thoughts go out to the victim and his family.”
At the moment, Byggnads has not been connected to the case, but there is sadness that yet another life has been lost at a workplace in a short time.
