Abstract

This paper analyzes the accidents at work in the Montevecchio mine, Guspinese-Arburese area in Sardinia, during the 20th century. The mining legislation in such chronological study has allowed to assess the behaviour of the workers as regards the accidents and their complaint to the mine authorities. Through the analysis of records compiled on each accident along with monthly and annual reports, the causes of injury and accident statistics could be traced: light injury (less than thirty days' prognosis), severe injury (more than thirty days) and fatality. In particular, 135 fatalities since the beginning of the century until the final closure in 1996 are reviewed in detail.
