MILANO – 90% of the construction companies monitored by the National Labor Inspectorate are not in compliance. This is what the director of the Inspectorate Bruno Giordano pointed out on Tg3, in the aftermath of the tragedy in Turin in which three workers lost their lives. “We started a surveillance a few months ago which showed that more than 9 out of 10 construction companies are not regular,” said Giordano. “The resources are sufficient but – he says – the coordination of the supervisory bodies is necessary to intervene in the prevention and repression of security violations”.
THE REPUBLIC DOSSIER – TO DIE AT WORK
Sbarra: “Draghi’s squeeze is not enough, repressive measures are needed”
“Accidents and deaths at work remain the greatest emergency: we continue to witness a massacre unworthy of a civilized country. It is unacceptable to lose one’s life for failure to apply safety measures and contracts”. This is what he underlines today in an interview with The print the general secretary of the CISL, Luigi Sbarra on yesterday’s crane collapse in which three workers died in Turin. “To stop this long trail of blood, we need to strengthen the contrast measures, already approved by the Government, we need repressive measures, more controls, more occupational doctors. And companies cannot consider safety only a cost”, he adds.
For Sbarra, “it is evident that there is a problem of controls and inspections that are not sufficient today to guarantee safety on construction sites, especially in a situation of strong recovery in the construction sector. Many companies use in a questionable way, sometimes wild, subcontracting and often those who take over apply the logic of the maximum discount to the detriment of safety, prevention, compliance with contracts. It is a system that must be profoundly changed. of concrete prevention starting from the workplaces most at risk “.
Sbarra continues: “We have judged only a first step the measures adopted by the Government which must now be applied. We need to hire more inspectors and occupational doctors to strengthen the verifications, the full application of the safety regulations. Then a strong investment in safety is necessary. training, starting with schools and more prevention, to increase the culture of safety which is also a culture of legality.
