Mattarella: the Charter safeguards health and safety at work; prevention is key

“The protection of health and safety in the workplace is rooted in the principles of the Constitution.” So said the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, on the occasion of the 76th National Day for the Victims of Workplace Accidents, in a message sent to the President of ANMIL, Amedeo Bozzer. “From these principles stems a concrete duty: to address risks before they result in accidents, through effective prevention, adequate training and protective measures capable of optimising, for this purpose, technological and organisational changes in the workplace,” he added. The role of ANMIL, an independent association dedicated to supporting, through its activities – including advocacy – those who have suffered accidents, their survivors and their families, is invaluable. This commitment combines the protection of rights with practical support for individuals and guidance through the processes of social and occupational inclusion and reintegration following an accident. In this sense, Anmil acts as a true agent of the Constitution.”
