SICILY – With a mortality rate equal to the national averagethe Sicily is placed at the edge of the yellow zone in the emergency mapping, that is, the one in which immediately after the white one are the regions with a less worrying mortality risk compared to the rest of the country.
We’re talking about a mortality incidence rate per million workers equal to 6.4, equal to the national average figure.
The risk of death in Sicily, province by province, from January to March 2024
To locate the most fragile areas of Italy on the workplace safety front, theVega Safety Observatory elaborate one risk mapping compared to the mortality rate.
There yellow zone, the one in which it is located Sicilyis the area that groups together the regions with one of the lowest incidences of workplace mortality at a national level.
At the end of March 2024, the risk of fatal injury in the region is 6.4 deaths per million employed and is equal to the national average.
Agrigento, Palermo and Trapani are in the red zone with indices of 16.4, 9.0 and 8.2 respectively. While Catania And Messina I am in yellow area (with an incidence of workplace deaths of 6.3 and 5.7 respectively) and in white area the provinces of Caltanissetta, Enna, Ragusa And Syracuseall with a mortality rate of “zero”.
Healthcare is the most affected sector
In the 2024 there Healthcare And at the top of the ranking of accident reports at work (505), followed by Buildings (353) and from Trade Wholesale et al Detail (329).
What is the incidence of accidents?
The incidence of fatal accidents indicates the number of workers who died while working in a given area (region or province) for every million employed people present in the same.
This index allows you to compare the accident phenomenon between different regionsalthough characterized by a different working population.
Zoning
There zoning used by the Vega Engineering Safety and Environment Observatory depicts the accident risk in the Italian regions according to the following color scale:
- White: region with an accident incidence lower than 75% of the national average incidence;
- Yellow: region with an accident incidence between 75% of the national average incidence and the national average value;
- Orange: region with an accident incidence between the national average value and 125% of the national average incidence;
- Red: region with an accident incidence higher than 125% of the national average incidence.
