The protocol of the social partners on anti Covid measures in private work is ready. The text establishes the end of the general obligation to use masks (it remains only in healthcare and transport) and however requires the employer to make the Ffp2 available to its employees, given that we are in a phase of high circulation of diseases. . In the individual companies, then, it will be the owner himself, together with the competent doctor or the ASL, to identify “particular groups of workers to whom to provide adequate personal protective equipment, Ffp2, which must be worn, paying particular attention to fragile subjects. measures are also identified in the event that it is necessary to manage an infectious outbreak in the company “. The obligation can therefore be introduced in individual work situations.

The text also indicates the workers considered most at risk, for which the company can decide to impose the mask. These are those who carry out their activities “in closed environments shared by several workers or open to the public or where interpersonal distancing of one meter is not possible due to the specific nature of the work activities”. To these people, at least “the employer ensures the availability of Ffp2 in order to allow all workers to use it”. If, as seen, he believes after having heard the company doctor or the prevention department of the ASL that it is necessary, he can put the obligation. And given that the choices are almost always based on caution, it is likely that many decide to maintain the obligation for those who are most at risk of contagion.
