One of the five workers who were injured in the accident that occurred on Tuesday at the Cienfuegos Cement Factory S.A. was discharged this Wednesday at noon as expected.
Alexei Aguilar Valdes, 53 years old, with burns on 5% of his body, was able to return home after receiving treatment at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguia Lima General University Hospital in Cienfuegos.
The remaining four are still hospitalized in the institution's Causmatology service.
According to Pavel Noa, the provincial health director, who reported to the Perlavisión telecenter, all are hemodynamically stable, without hypovolemic shock, with preserved diuresis and without fever. They are in the process of healing.
They are:
Dionel Figueroa Calunga, 52 years old, 70% burned, reported in extremely critical condition.
Francisco Díaz Urquiza, 60 years old, 24% burned, reported in very serious condition.
Hermes Rojas Campos, 52 years old, 24% burn, reported in serious condition.
Carlos Aguilar Sabina, 33 years old, 12% burns, reported as less severe.
On Tuesday afternoon, an explosion occurred at the Carlos Marx Cement Factory in Cienfuegos, which resulted in one worker dead, five injured, and three others trapped. This was presumably due to the explosion causing the collapse of a hopper, which kept them pinned down until firefighters rescued them.
The deceased worker was identified as Raymundo Narciso Sarría, 61 years old, who worked as a Cuban electrician for the Engineering Construction Company No. 6 (Ecoing-6).
According to the official newspaper Granma, he died when a spill of materials occurred in one of the hoppers of this factory.
Preliminary versions pointed to the explosion of a boiler as the possible cause of the accident, while others mentioned a spill of material in a tower, but so far there is no official confirmation and the investigation continues.
