SF Recology Worker killed in the Ave Facility tunnel while the OSHA examination initiates

The 61-year-old Alfredo Romero, a long-time Recology Mechanic and Teamsters Local 350 member, died on Friday in the establishment of the Avenue tunnel in San Francisco-Brisbane. Osha examined.

As the Chronicle reports, Alfredo Romero, a 61-year-old long-time recology mechanic from Fremont, died on Friday morning in the company's recycling facility on the Tunnel Avenue on the border between San Francisco and Brisbane. Recology has not published any details while examining the incident. The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has also started an investigation, as reported by KTVU.

Romero, a member of the Teamsters Local 350, was remembered by the union in a public explanation in which he expressed shock and grief about his death.

Brother Romero was more than an experienced dealer, he was a reliable employee, a committed union brother and an integral part of our local 350 family. His loss is deeply felt by everyone who knew him, and it is a heartbreaking memory that the waste industry remains one of the most dangerous professions in the country.

Recology emphasized that security was the top priority and said she was working entirely with the authorities. “Losing a member of our recology family is devastating for each of our employee owners,” said a spokesman.
