Noticias recentes sobre grandes tragédias que devem ser vistas como relacionadas ao trabalho.
A postagem sobre o desastre na mina de carvão traz à tona o papel de gestores e autoridades em situações que "mandaram avisos" que acabaram desconsiderados. Um dos desafios da análise de acidentes e ou de crimes corporativos atualmente refere-se a estas situações que parecem situar-se na fronteira entre o acidente e o crime.
Afinal quais as razões que levam os gestores envolvidos nesses casos a fazerem as escolhas que fizeram? em casos como esse da Mina os prejuízos, os impactos vão além do seu enorme custo humano (dezenas de mortes). Afetam profundamente tb a atividade econômica, talvez até a sobrevivência da empresa. E ainda assim casos similares se repetem.
Para nós do Fórum AT é fundamental que as análises desse tipo de casos não fiquem restritas à abordagem dos aspectos técnicos envolvidos na explosão. Elas precisam mergulhar na história desses sistemas, escarafunchar os processos de tomadas de decisão que as práticas de explorar "causas das causas" fazem emergir como associadas ao evento em questão.
Quais os avisos que o desastre enviou? Quem e como tomou conhecimento desses sinais? quem e como discutiu e como interpretou tais avisos? quais os itinerários de circulação desses avisos e de sua análise no sistema? quais as recomendações adotadas (ou não) e como foram "paradas" no sistema? (em qual ou quais gavetas e por quais razões?) qual o tratamento dado ás recomendações [...]
Agentes de políticas públicas e do poder judiciário atuando nesses casos não podem aceitar resultados de análises que não explorem esses aspectos. Ou pior até, que embutam conclusões que objetivam justamente impedir que a análise se estenda pela exploração desses aspectos.

""Nós ouvimos as vozes do além-túmulo", declarou Alain Jakubowicz, um dos advogados da associação Cooperação e Solidariedade AF447. "Foi um momento apavorante porque ouvimos os pilotos, que em vários trechos (dizem), 'Nós tentamos de tudo'. Eles não entendiam o que estava prestes a acontecer"."
2. Explosão em Mina de carvão na Turquia - mais de 40 óbitos
Turkey coalmine blast leaves at least 41 dead
"Interior minister says 110 people were inside the state-owned mine when the explosion occurred"
An explosion deep inside a coalmine in Turkey’s mountainous northern Black Sea region has killed at least 41 people, with rescue efforts and work to contain a fire in the facility continuing for hours on Saturday.
Turkish officials including the energy minister, Fatih Dönmez, said initial assessments indicated the blast on Friday inside the state-owned mine was caused by a firedamp explosion, a reference to the combustion of pockets of highly flammable gases trapped in the coal bed.
“All search and rescue teams are on duty,” he said, adding that the mine’s ventilation system had continued to work.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who cancelled a planned trip to Diyarbakir province to visit the site of the incident in the port town of Amasra, announced on Saturday afternoon that the search and rescue operation was complete.
State television showed white smoke billowing from the mine entrance over the mountainside, with a reporter at the site stating more than 12 hours after the incident: “The fire is happening underneath us, it’s still active.”
The interior minister, Süleyman Soylu, who travelled to Amasra to oversee rescue efforts, said 110 miners were inside the facility at the time of the explosion, and that 49 had been trapped in a high risk area of the mine.
Rescue workers pushed through the night as concerned relatives of those trapped gathered close to the TTK Amasra Müessese Müdürlüğü mine. Soylu said that by Saturday morning at least 58 had been rescued or escaped from the mine, and a further 11 had been taken to hospital, with the status of one miner unclear.
The incident at a state-run facility in a part of the country traditionally associated with support for Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Justice and Development party presents a challenge for the government. There have been a number of high-profile mining disasters in recent memory, drawing questions about whether the state has done enough to protect workers in a dangerous industry.
The head of one Turkish mining union told the local Cumhuriyet news outlet that increasing safety measures after disasters was insufficient. “The important thing is to value people while they are alive,” he said, referencing two major mining disasters in Turkey in 2014. “There are mines all over the world, but these disasters always occur in mines in Turkey,” he said.
A prolonged fire inside a mine in the town of Soma in western Turkey in 2014 caused the worst mining disaster in the country’s history, where 301 miners died from carbon monoxide poisoning and at least 162 others were injured.
That incident drew widespread public outrage, amid questions from families and observers about what they said was insufficient government oversight and lack of safety precautions at the facility.
“Prosecutors found that the mine company had been informed of but apparently ignored clear warning signs of dangerous gas [firedamp] levels and rising heat in the mine, all of which contributed to the deaths,” said Human Rights Watch. Prosecutors later said a second deadly mining incident in 2014 that killed 18 people was preventable.
Both incidents provoked widespread demands for better inspections and enforcement of safety procedures, prompting officials to state two years ago that mining accidents had been reduced by almost 60%.
The Turkish Hard Coal Authority stated that İbrahim Özkarcı, who heads the energy division of a government audit body, recently visited the mining facility in Amasra, but pushed back against reports that he had done so “for audit purposes”. Instead, they said, this was “a courtesy visit” and that indications otherwise “do not reflect the truth and contain disinformation”.
Erdoğan said he would cancel a speaking engagement in the Diyarbakır region, and would aim to visit Amasra. He emphasised that multiple ministers were dispatched to the town to oversee rescue efforts and that prosecutors had opened an investigation into the cause of the incident.
“Only the statements of our official institutions regarding this sad event should be taken into account, and malicious content containing provocative and disinformation should not be respected,” he added.
Shortly before the incident, Turkey’s parliament passed a sweeping new law criminalising alleged disinformation, which campaigners warned muzzled vital press freedoms in the run-up to an election expected in June 2023 or before.
Turkey’s police headquarters said they would take legal against 12 people who they claimed incited hate about the incident on social media.
