A worker was killed on March 22 at the Teghout Enrichment Plant when
the crane basket he was in plummeted 34 meters to the ground.
The 24 year-old worker, Yerevan resident Seyran Arakaleyan, had been
employed by a company called Yerevan Metallic Constructs Factory.
The company was contracted to dismantle various metal structures at
the Teghout site.
Rouben Papoyan, a member of the Tegout CJSC board, stated that
Yerevan Metallic was solely responsible for the mishap, adding that
an investigation is underway.
Seyran Arakelyan started to work at Teghout in the fall of 2012.
Supervisors of the Yerevan Metallic work crew were at the site when
the accident occurred.
When this reporter visited the site two days ago, they had left to
attend Arakelyan's funeral.
This is the second deadly accident at the Teghout site.
On December 26, 2012, fifty year-old Gagik Kochinyan fell from the
second story of a mineral ore warehouse and died in a Yerevan hospital
eight days later.
In both cases, criminal investigations are underway by local Alaverdi
authorities.
