Fatal accident in Santa Margalida: Concrete slabs bury worker – How safe are our construction sites?

Answer

What are the most common causes of construction accidents in Mallorca?

Accidents often happen when heavy materials are not properly secured, when storage areas are poorly organised or when safety procedures are ignored. In Mallorca, the risk can rise if different contractors work side by side and responsibilities are unclear. Investigations usually focus on whether these basic safeguards were in place.
