The regional councilor

“You can’t continue dying in the workplace. Prevention and training must become a strategy with more resources to secure all production processes ». This was stated by the councilor for work of the Piedmont Region, Elena Chiorino following the accident that took place at Margaritelli di Caluso. “We cannot allow the resumption of production rates to be at the expense of security, sacrificing human lives.
