The other accident that killed André de Seixas da Silva, an employee hired by Trasnbet, occurred in production well 7-ET-0376-RN, in the Estreito field, in the municipality of Carnaubais (RN).

The worker was hit by a bucket while cleaning the base of the well. The two workers were taken alive to the hospital, but did not resist their injuries.

The FUP released a note stating that the accidents prove the poor working conditions to which workers in the Petrobras system are subjected and stressed that the deaths are consequences of the precarious conditions of the facilities, the reduction of operating costs and staff.

Transpetro regretted what happened and declared that it is providing all assistance to the family of worker Marcelo Bezerra, while Petrobras preferred not to comment on the matter.
