Furthermore, according to reports, the workers were preparing to leave the job when the accident occurred. The Military Police of Serra do Mel only became aware after it was broadcast on social media.
The company responsible for the service did not report the incident. This is not the first time that wind companies in that region have made information difficult to obtain.
In another workplace accident that occurred in that region, where two workers died, the company obstructed the entry of the Civil Police and the ITEP at the site.
It was necessary for the duty officer that day, Dr. Roberto Moura, to threaten to arrest the company’s personnel for obstructing the Judicial Police and the forensic investigation. Only then was authorization granted for the entry of the Civil Police and the ITEP.
After the forensic work, the body of Gerson Alves da Silva was collected and sent for autopsy examinations at the Legal Medical Institute of the ITEP, Mossoró – RN unit. After the procedures, the body will be released to the young man’s family.
