Luana died in the factory: “Safety is still seen as a cost”

L’Orditura Luana is an artisan company, small, without internal union representation and without union workers. Today the machines are stopped and the company is empty. Yesterday the accident that cost the life of 22-year-old Luana D’Orazio, sucked into a roller. When the car was stopped there was already nothing more for her to do.

“We have no direct relationship with the company,” he explains Giovanni Santi of Filctem Cgil Prato who follows the textile sector, «But we know the context well, small artisan companies, not all structured.

Security is often seen as a cost, a burden rather than a resource. It is a general trait of the situation: the situation remains outside the gate ».

There has been another fatal accident in the area in recent months and one in the fall. “There are dangerous parts in every textile machine. Experience and technological evolution have led to have principals that prevented such incidents. The investigation will ascertain why this tragedy happened »adds Santi.

In the first three months of 2021, two people a day died at work in Italy. There were 185 reports of accidents at work that led to death between January and March, 19 more than in the first quarter of 2020.

Luana had been working in the company for less than a year. He had a 5-year-old son, Donatello. He lived with his family, parents and brother, in Le Querci, on the outskirts of Pistoia. “Today is a day of pain for our city”, said Mayor Alessandro Tomasi, “Pistoia is gathering around Luana’s family, who died while she was doing her job in a textile company in Montemurlo … There remains a great sense of ‘injustice, anger and immense pain in the face of similar unacceptable events that still continue to happen ”.

“I had her as an extra in one of my films, Its pink, in the scene of a party, ”he said Leonardo Pieraccioni, «There were so many boys, I vaguely remember it because there were so many. But the memory of that scene from a carefree party of 20-year-olds adds even more pain. Because life at twenty should be and continue like this, like a party. This is terrible news, given his age and the manner of the accident. Leave a five-year-old child, there are no words. As much as it may serve, I send a very strong hug to his family ».
