Rome, May 6 (askanews) – "Workplace safety remains an emergency. Looking at the data, we cannot be satisfied with the slight improvements seen in recent months, although they are present." This was stated by Emiliano Fossi (Democratic Party), member of the Chamber of Deputies' Labor Committee, speaking at Largo Chigi, a Urania News format. "Last year, there were approximately 600 reports of workplace accidents, an increase of 2,4% in 2026 compared to 2025, while occupational diseases increased by 11,3% in 2025."
The security model isn't working, and the government decree on the issue is an empty shell: there's a lack of investment in controls. The situation also fits into a broader social crisis, with approximately 13 million people living in poverty or at risk of exclusion. We've tried to collaborate on these issues, but we haven't found adequate solutions.
The government, in my opinion, is not taking into account the level of emergency the country is experiencing,” he concluded.
