The incident happened on Wednesday morning, as plant workers were cleaning the incinerator’s furnace. The 24-year-old fell into it from a height of 15 meters, receiving fatal injuries, reports Interfax.

Investigators report that the tragedy was a result of the worker’s violation of safety regulations.
