Industrial safety
Four commuting deaths and company labour fine
June 2023–January 2025 · documented · high materiality
Four Mantoverde workers died in a June 2023 road crash while returning home.

The court said the labour-fine dispute did not determine civil accident causation.
Attribution: Employer context; no individual link established. Flores joined as Mantoverde general manager on 15 January 2024, after the accident. The cited labour ruling concerns the employer; the reviewed sources do not establish his personal responsibility or civil causation.
Relevance: A material company safety matter, distinct from on-site fatality metrics.
