Pathologies of the osteo-muscular system and connective tissue, those of the nervous system and the ear continue to represent, also in the first quarter of 2024, the first three occupational diseases reported, followed by tumors (from 17 to 27 complaints +58%).
After years in Piceno
we record a stable situation as the complaints presented in the period under review increased from 297 to 296. Data reprocessed from Open Data Inail source.
For Bianchini“the data illustrated, always provisional and subject to change, are always a source of reflection and concern. Numbers always say something!
After the 1.5% reduction recorded in our Region in the first quarter of 2024, complaints began to grow again by 0.7%.
The number of complaints submitted for commuting accidents remains worrying (i.e those by means of transport as they grow by 12.3%).
They confirm the need for interventions on the severely lacking road infrastructure both in the region and in the south of it; shortage which leads many workers to go to work with their own means and therefore with greater risks on the way home/work.
Therefore, as already mentioned, for Bianchini we must not relax prevention actions, those of Information and controls especially in those sectors which have recorded growing numbers.
The protection rules exist, there is a need for an effective control system to be implemented, proactive, sensitive, quality with suitable resources; in the Marche Region only 3.8% of the regional health fund is allocated to prevention (141 million), while the expected percentage must be 5%.
Safety at work is a vital aspect for our territories also linked to the issues of the regional health plan and that of prevention.
We need a synergistic policy between all the subjects, public and private, who are interested in prevention. The role of the is also vital RLS/RLST which are fundamental in managing the risks present in the company.
The new organization of work, artificial intelligence, require a reflection on this new context both from an employment point of view and on the new risks which are different from the so-called traditional ones.
In this scenario it is also necessary to remember the new protections for older workers (over 65), defined by art.5 of the Legislative Decree. n.29/2024, strongly present in companies due to the increase in the retirement age.
The situation remains worrying Professional diseases that grow again. There Marche regionin the quarter in question, drops out second place in this sad national ranking, after Tuscany and Puglia. June 3, 2024.
