The fatal accident that occurred to Yaya Yafa inside the Bologna Interporto presents us with a problem that has become a plague to be treated in our production and service system.
There is a lack of investment and controls along the production chain. Clients often do not control decentralisation, contracting and subcontracting which involve the presence of workers who do not have adequate safety training and lack training/support appropriate to the activities they have to carry out.
In order to reduce accidents at work and avoid their dramatic consequences, the process of strengthening inspection services must be accelerated, sanctions against non-compliant companies must be intensified, the right of workers and their representatives to negotiate working conditions with a view to containing professional risk must be recognized.
It is necessary to carry out an in-depth examination of the situation at the Interporto as in many workplaces and in particular in complex, highly labour-intensive sites, involving the top management and all institutional levels responsible for ensuring safety and health in the workplace.
The social price that is being paid due to the quantity of accidents is unacceptable and unsustainable for any community and throughout the region we must find the strength to react and highlight the causes that are at the root of accidents at work.
It is a priority to put Work and the Person who works back at the center.
CGIL CISL UIL of Ferrara proclaim a 2-hour territorial strike for Tuesday, October 26, after yet another death at work. The strike will be organized in the workplace based on the organizational conditions of each category.
