An important moment of comparison
And in the aftermath of this important moment of discussion, a long-standing problem has returned to public attention which, however, can no longer be silenced, namely the working conditions of those who, in the hot season, are forced to work in the open air with very high temperatures. above 30 degrees. “Finally something has moved,” he underlined the regional deputy Ignazio Abbate. “We are working towards a provision that will become jurisprudence”.
The DC exponent refers to one draft memorandum of understanding proposed by the unions, INPS and Inail which prohibits so-called ‘outdoor’ work (road, construction and agricultural workers) from 12pm to 4pm in the presence of temperatures above 35° or in any case with a humidity rate such as to make one perceive a higher temperature than the real one. If everything is approved, it will then be up to local authorities to issue specific ordinances.
