Why does it seem so complicated to take care of those who work?
Based on the mistaken assumption that reaching safety takes a long time—in reality, we're talking seconds or a few minutes at most—some people, to save time, decide to work in dangerous conditions, putting their lives at risk.
In this study we have decided to return to deal with a topic of fundamental importance, that is, job securityWe are always happy and honoured to present you our proposals regarding PPE and safety systems, but we feel the responsibility, as leading actors on this stage, to convey an educational message, to lay the foundations for a better future with regards to the issue of safety, and not only with regards to falling from heights, the flagship of Trentino Sicurezza.
The (thorny) topic of workplace safety
Analyzing data on workplace accidents in Italy, what unfolds before our eyes is a substantially dramatic scenario, painting the stark reality in no uncertain terms. And it's no coincidence that for years, even politicians have decided to shine a spotlight on this issue, with the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, having spoken out strongly on the subject in recent years, inviting all those involved to take action. to an awareness. And this seems to be a key point of this argument.
Worker safety is a must
We could spend pages and pages talking about the lack of controls on the territory by the competent authorities, who could tighten surveillance of open construction sites and companies, but what would be the point of focusing on this? Given that more could (and perhaps should) be done in terms of controls, we believe our task is to provide an answer. constructive, solution to the problem. And what is the problem, after all? It's certainly the lack of education on the subject.
First of all, safety at work is seen as optional while too often we forget that it is a the obligationThe law is clear and current regulations are stringent, to the point that they require building safety measures to be implemented already in the design phase. Every building, therefore, should meet specific workplace safety criteria. Worker safety, therefore, is a priority. the obligation, not something extra, not an added value. An obligation.
(Almost) all a psychological question…
But why do the designer and employer decide not to make the workplace as safe as required by law? In most cases, it's due to carelessness. The idea is that proceeding according to regulations and ensuring worker safety is a particularly time-consuming activity. And since time is money, safety is cut without realizing that this is jeopardizing people's health, if not their lives. There are also cases where safety is put aside for reasons of convenience. purely economic, and here we should be talking about stupidity rather than ignorance.
The same argument applies, unfortunately, to some workers as well. Starting from the assumption false that getting to safety takes a long time – in reality we are talking about seconds or a few minutes at most There are people who, to save time, decide to work in dangerous conditions, putting their lives at risk. It's all due to a psychological issue, a false belief that we must dismantle. As quickly as possible. Why is this urgent? Because these false beliefs cause 350 to 400 workplace fatalities each year due to falls from heights, or a third of all workplace deaths – according to data. INAIL –.
