They are not all tragic fatalities. The dynamics are indeed recurring: falls from heights, crushes, overturns, investments. If we want to stop these massacres it is necessary that each of us (institutions, trade associations, companies, trade unions, workers) do their part constantly, always And until the endin terms of prevention and of diffusion of the safety culturewhich must start right from the schools“Denounces the CGIL of Verona.

An attitude that, as highlighted also in the last meetings at the Prefecture of Veronacan only start fromeducation in schools. And then of course it takes the controls. Investments by workers on road construction sites are not uncommon in 2015 and again in 2017 is in the 2020 there Transpolesana she was stained with blood several times. Accidents at work on construction sites or accidents in transit that they tell us about tragedy always the same as themselvesthat have to do with streets crammed with cars and commercial vehicles; underestimation risks; respected the Traffic Laws, rhythms frenetic, shortcomings infrastructure structure. A situation that together, institutions, companies, trade unions, we must succeed in put hand”Concludes the note from the CGIL of Verona.
