On Monday afternoon, two industrial accidents occurred within a few minutes. In Grüsch one person was injured by an explosion and in Davos one person got their hand caught in a cutter.
At around 1:50 p.m., a 27-year-old in Grüsch intended to shorten an iron pipe in a garage with a cutting disc. According to initial findings, the spark reached an as yet unknown substance, which ignited and caused a detonation. As a result, the man was seriously injured in the facial area and hands and had to be flown by Rega to a hospital in Zurich.
Injured in Bowlcutter's hand
Just a few minutes later, a 25-year-old woman caught her right hand in a cutter at a food factory in Davos and was seriously injured. She was taken to a landing site in an ambulance from the Davos rescue service and from there flown to the Graubünden Cantonal Hospital in Chur with the AAA Alpine Air Ambulance. The Care Team Grischun was called in to look after employees present.
In both accidents at work, the Graubünden cantonal police have begun investigations to clarify the causes.
