2024-01-22 18:08:00

The man was employed by a subcontractor of the meat processing company in Deinze, said press magistrate of the labor prosecutor’s office Elke Vande Velde. “He was working on a machine that quickly freezes food at a very low temperature and became unwell for reasons still undetermined.”

A forensic doctor has been appointed to clarify the causes of death. “The first findings show that a quantity of nitrogen gas might have been released, causing a lack of oxygen,” reports the labor auditor.

An investigation will also have to verify whether work safety legislation has been respected.
