According to the report, the victim was Ayaz Mammadov, a 44-year-old Baku resident.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Head of the Committee for the Protection of Petroleum Workers (OWRPO) Mirvari Qahremanli confirmed the incident and told Meydan TV that \u201cthe welder fell through a gap in the rig into the sea and died from his injuries. We have received information about other victims, as well\u201d.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The drilling rig is operated by Emirati company Bahar Energy Ltd, which signed \u00a0a production-sharing agreement with SOCAR \u2013 the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan \u2013 back in 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The accident occurred on the day of Novruz. Due to the festivities, the company was not available for comment on Monday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  According to Qahremanli, workers should not have been working on the holidays and the fact that they were is a violation of Azerbaijan\u2019s labor code.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cAs far as I know, on the island of Qum people work in very bad conditions. Violation of labor rights in Azerbaijan is a frequent occurrence\u201d, Qahremanli told Meydan TV.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The incident is the latest in a series of gas and oil-related accidents in the country, many of which have put security standards in the country\u2019s oil and gas industry into question.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  On December 14, 2015, an oil worker died and 30 went missing after a fire broke out on \u00a0Platform 10 on the Guneshli oil field located 120 kilometres east of Baku. The fire followed an explosion on an underwater high-pressure gas pipeline that was damaged during a storm.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  One year later on December 15, one oilfield worker died and nine went missing after heavy winds caused the collapse of an 150-meter-long pier of oil and gas extraction point number 3 of the Oil and Gas Production Department named after Nariman Narimanov of the Azneft Production Association in the Caspian Sea.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rferl.org\/a\/azerbaijan-socar-oil-platform-collapse\/28177926.html\"><br \/>\n    Qahremanli<br \/>\n  <\/a><br \/>\n  told Radio Free Europe that three other accidents occurred at the same station in 2014. As a result of which a total of five people lost their lives.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cIt\u2019s oil first, people second\u2019, just like in Soviet times. The human factor is devalued. It should be the other way round: people first, and then the oil. People should have been evacuated in a timely way. Attention should have been paid to these safety issues. But the human factor comes last\u201d,<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opendemocracy.net\/od-russia\/gabriel-levy\/break-silence-on-azerbaijan-oil-workers-deaths\"><br \/>\n    said<br \/>\n  <\/a><br \/>\n  Qahremanli in relation to the December 2016 accident.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  According to the Azerbaijani labor code, each worker working on standard working hours should not work for more than 8 hours per day or more than 40 hours per week. Over time is permitted, but it should not exceed 2 hours per day in areas where working conditions are difficult and the workplace is hazardous.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In addition, in the case of the death of a worker \u201cthe heirs of the deceased shall receive an allowance equal to three times the average monthly wage\u201d.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Loss of life due to hazardous working conditions and property damage due to negligence in construction are frequent occurrences in Azerbaijan \u2013 many sources point to corruption as a source of<br \/>\n  <a href=\"\/en\/article\/azerbaijans-corrupt-construction-sector-to-blame-for-cut-corners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    cut-corners.<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An oil worker lost his life and three others were injured in an accident on the Caspian island of Qum on drilling rig N. 409 on March 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":79540,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-video","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
