      Fatal accident at Hydro’s LogNor facility in France

      A subcontractor working at Hydro’s LogNor facility near Soissons in France suffered fatal injuries on Saturday from an electric shock during installation work at the new logistics and surface treatment plant for Wicona, a brand within Hydro’s building systems operations.

      The subcontractor was employed by a Polish firm performing work at the near-completed LogNor facility on behalf of Wurster Oberflächentechnik, a German painting and powder coating specialist.

      Police has closed the premises and launched an investigation into the accident. Hydro will in cooperation with Wurster and relevant authorities conduct a separate investigation of the incident.
