NCC faces 5-million-kronor penalty after fatal Northvolt accident in Skellefteå

svt.se (Swedish)

Construction firm NCC faces a five-million-kronor corporate fine demand after a workplace accident outside Northvolt's Skellefteå factory killed one man and seriously injured another. The December 2023 accident occurred while two men erected a tarp over a work tent when a mobile crane collapsed. Prosecutor Åse Schoultz says NCC inadequately assessed risks of the procedure and lifting equipment. NCC accepted the demand; the court may decide on documents. The deceased, Dan Karlsson, and a 20-year-old man who lost an arm were the victims. Northvolt is not considered at fault. The case was delayed by police priorities, prolonging relatives' distress.
