Young deceased working for the company Forestal Bejarano e Niño, S.L., on Monte El Peso of the municipality of Artzentales (Bizkaia). A trunk hit him while cutting the pines, the ELA union reports. “Accidents in the forestry sector are very high, every year there is a fatal occupational accident,” the union said, stressing that twelve workers have died in this sector since 2021. “High weights, work overloads, such demanding rhythms or heavy and dangerous machines that are used in hard-to-reach areas and steep slopes,” he explained that they make forestry activity dangerous.

According to the LAB trade union registration, the deceased in Artzentales is the 22nd employee who died this year working. The first died on January 6, when he worked in Zaragoza (Aragon).
