«Unfortunately we learned only a few days ago about a serious accident at work occurred at the Mario Cavelli Srl company in Busto Arsizio; during his work shift a worker was hit by high temperature liquid escaped from the machinery he was working on, suffering serious burns over a good part of his body and requiring hospitalization at the Major Burns Center of Milan – Niguarda». Thus the note signed by Filctem (Italian Federation of Chemical, Textile, Energy, Manufacturing Workers) CGIL Varese And Environment Health Safety Department Cgil Varese which reconstructs what happened.
«It is yet another tragic confirmation of the extension of a phenomenon which for too many years has been inexorably and transversally affecting workers in all production sectors and which has unfortunately registered a worrying resurgence at a national level, especially in recent years. The measure is full.
As already happened only a few months ago on the occasion of a previous and similar episode which also occurred in the province of Varese, we reiterate with conviction that only an adequate trainingthe presence and knowledge of correct procedures, combined with a significant and targeted increase in controls through the strengthening of the Supervisory Bodies, it can be decisive in guaranteeing as much as possible the prevention and safety in the workplace.
Filctem CGIL Varese and the Environment, Health and Safety Department of CGIL Varese, which have always been sensitive and committed to the topic, launch yet another appeal for a concrete investment in safetya serious fight against the phenomenon, also through the no longer postponable strengthening of the structures responsible for prevention in the area, so that all the necessary paths are activated for an extensive and widespread control of the workplaces.
For this reason, in solidarity with the injured worker to whom we obviously send our most sincere wishes for a speedy recovery, we will very shortly promote a local initiative aimed at raising public awareness of the phenomenon».
