The deaths at work, the need to tighten controls to ward off other victims and then tighten controls on the disbursement of funds on the Superbonus. The Minister of Labor Andrea Orlando, responding to an urgent information on safety in the workplace in the Chamber touches on several topics.
On the table the accident in Turin, with me three workers killed by the collapse of the crane. «From the first information acquired, it is not known whether the cause of the accident is due to a structural failure of the fixed crane or to a landslide in the road surface. The investigations by the national labor inspectorate are in progress, ”says Orlando. «The Turin affair – continued the minister – is emblematic of a model that is reproduced too often due to subcontracts and the coexistence of several contracts in the same yard. Work continues to die, we must strengthen the work initiated by the government and all institutions. We need to extend supervision, prevention and assistance to businesses and focus on sectors with more irregularities and little transparency ».
Superbonus issue
The point, in any case, concerns the training and certification of companies and is “essential” says the Minister of Labor. “We need a dialogue with the social partners to reward virtuous employers, in particular on construction”. “Thus the risk of increased accidents is limited, access to benefits – he explains referring to the issue of Superbonus – must not be applicable for construction work done by companies that do not respect the national construction contract and that apply pirate contracts. We need to enhance the role of professionals responsible for safety at work even with adequate remuneration “. L
