The Vega Engineering Occupational Safety Observatory Report takes into account deaths in relation to the working population
In the course of 17 months of pandemic in the Aosta Valley, two deaths occurred at work for Covid, a figure that places the region in sixth place in Italy in terms of the number of deaths in relation to the working population. In addition, 0.5% of accident reports (based on Inail data) from all over Italy come from Valle d’Aosta.
The processing is by the Vega Engineering Occupational Safety Observatory in Mestre which collected information on “white deaths” and reports of accidents related to the contagion for the new coronavirus between January 2020 and May 2021.
In Italy from January 2020 to last May there are 639 victims at work for Covid with an increase, in May, of 6.5%. Molise, Campania, Abruzzo, Lombardy and Ligura are the regions that precede Valle d’Aosta in the ranking of the highest risk compared to the working population.
The total reports of accidents at work related to the new coronavirus are 175,323. A quarter of the total comes from Lombardy, 13.3% from Piedmont and 10.6% from Veneto. Below 1%, in addition to Valle d’Aosta, also Umbria (0.8%), Calabria (0.7%), Basilicata (0.5%) and Molise (0.3%).
«We continue to register new reports of fatal and non-fatal accidents – underlines Mauro Rossato, president of the Occupational Safety Observatory – but the percentages of increase are constantly lowering and this is certainly due to the vaccine effect. Our graphs – he adds – show a constant decrease in the total number of accident reports, month by month, which are even halved between January and February and then in any case in constant decline. A trend certainly favored by the arrival of vaccines ».
