(Finance) – Rome airports and Inail celebrated World Day of health and safety in the workplace at Fiumicino airport.
The morning was opened by a meeting and a round table at the Adr Management Offices, which was attended, among others, by the CEO of Aeroporti di Roma, Marco Troncone; the director general of Inail, Andrea Tardiola; the commander of the Rome and Province Fire Department Alessandro Paola; Monica Mascia, national secretary Fit Cisl; And Paolo Collini, Head of Health and Safety at Uil Trasporti. The day ended with an emergency drill by Inail, with the simulation of an operator who fell ill due to toxic vapors during an air quality check and the consequent rescue by the fire brigade.
“It’s an important day,” he said stub – not only because we celebrate World Day for Health and Safety in the Workplace but because it represents an opportunity to remind all of us that it is an issue, a priority that we place at the center of our daily actions, on which we must never let your guard down also because when you think that everything has actually been done there is always something we can do better and more, looking for example at the Anglo-Saxon cultural model. And the results prove us right: in the last 2 years in Adr we have reduced the accident frequency index and the accident severity index by 50%. We have also increased workplace inspections. In fact, it is essential for us that all processes, equipment, materials and workplaces are designed, built and managed with the highest level of guarantee of safety conditions”.
“Today is an important day as are all the days in which we at AdR are extremely committed to improving the culture and awareness of the importance of safety in the workplace and the health of our workers. Our people receive adequate training, 30,000 hours spent in this area, and state-of-the-art protective devices,” he said Alberto Valenza, Human Capital & Organization, Health & Safety of Aeroporti di Roma“.
“The partnership with Adr – he said Tardiola – is a platform for working well: the indication on accidents in Italy saw 1,000 fatal cases in 2022. The vast majority of accidents we record are low-impact. The most important ones are decreasing but are squeezed upwards and where the security systems find it more difficult to intervene. Therefore, more and more partnerships are needed, such as the one with Adr, to carry out research, concrete initiatives and launch increasingly targeted protocols, drawing inspiration from cultural models of prevention such as the Anglo-Saxon one”.
The event follows the five-year protocol signed on 15 September by AdR and Inail with the common objective of spreading the culture of prevention and the improvement of health and safety management, also through the involvement, with various initiatives and experiments – such as those in progress on the security stations at Terminal 1, the manual handling of loads, the training through innovative technological devices – of workers’ union organizations, firefighters, local health authorities and companies.
