In a construction lift accident in Sundbyberg, Sweden, 5 workers died and there were 119 companies on the construction site.

Omissions

• The MEP did not specify that the accident occurred on 11 December 2023.
• The 119 companies were subcontractors (underentreprenörer) spread across five tiers of subcontracting, active over the entire construction period rather than necessarily all present simultaneously on the day of the accident.
• The victims included migrant workers from Russia and Ukraine, which is relevant context for the MEP's likely argument about labour conditions and subcontractor chains.
