Concerns Rise Over Northvolt Safety Incidents

Published: 2024-08-06

A series of troubling incidents at Northvolt's Skellefteå facility has raised concerns about workplace safety.

Recently, an employee suffered facial burns from a solvent during a cleaning operation, prompting a police investigation into potential workplace violations.

This incident follows the deaths of three employees, which police have stated show no concrete connection to their work environment.

However, another employee has died in a separate drowning accident during their time off.

Northvolt's management insists there is no link between these tragedies and the workplace, while union representatives express shock and call for clarity.

The police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding these events, aiming to alleviate public concern and speculation.
