As a result of the fire that engulfed yesterday the brick factory in Maminas of Durrës, 57-year-old welder Besnik Bojaku lost his life today in the hospital.
He was working on the new production line that had not yet been put into operation when everything was engulfed in flames. In connection with the event, the police announced that they have arrested the technical manager of the factory on charges of non-compliance with the rules of technical safety.
Factory representatives did not comment saying they are mourning the worker who lost his life. Today, however, work has continued normally in the functional part of the factory. Investigations so far show that the fire was caused by an electric spark in the building where the new brick production line was set up.
Measures against fire and technical security for the protection of workers is a legal obligation of the employer, while the implementation of these measures remains the biggest problem in many workplaces in Albania.
