According to the same source, the two workers “were dismantling a structure and fell from a height of more than 30 meters”.
ACT has already mobilized a team of inspectors to the scene to carry out the necessary investigations and determine the causes of the accident, according to the source.
Contacted by Lusa, a source from the Alentejo Litoral Sub-Regional Emergency and Civil Protection Command said that at 16:29 the fire department was alerted to a fall of temporary or mobile structures.
