A preliminary investigation into the case of a port employee falling from a height has been completed in Murmansk. The incident is blamed on the head of the repair and construction site. The investigation believes that he violated labor protection requirements.

A week after the emergency, his condition was assessed as satisfactory. The port administration promised to provide the victim with all required insurance payments.
