Fatal work accident in Golling: painter falls from an altitude of eight meters

A tragic incident occurred in Golling on the morning of October 22nd on the Salzach. A 43-year-old painter was busy with the facade renovation of a house when he had a terrible accident. In his work, he used a mobile scaffolding to use a piercing ladder that brought him to a height of about eight meters to cut a pipe.

While he was on the ladder, the scaffold tilted unexpectedly and the painter fell several meters into the depth. Immediate help was provided by witnesses present, but unfortunately it was too late; The man succumbed to his injuries. It should be emphasized that the painter worked solely on the scaffolding and an external fault can be excluded.

The exact circumstances of the accident are now examined by the local police. Initial investigations indicate that the security measures may not be sufficient to prevent such a severe fall. The incident not only triggered grief from the victim's family, but also raised questions about the security of working conditions on construction sites.

The Salzburg State Police Directorate took up the investigation to get clear answers and avoid further accidents in the future.
