“With a mortality rate higher than the national average, Emilia-Romagna is placed in the red zone in the emergency mapping, i.e. the one in which the regions with a higher mortality risk than the country average are located. We are talking about a mortality incidence rate per million workers of 13.8, much higher than the national average figure (8.7).” This is what he reports the Vega Safety Observatory which has developed a mapping of the risk with respect to the incidence of mortality, to identify the most fragile areas of Italy in terms of safety at work
The risk of death in Emilia Romagna, province by province from January to April 2024
The red zone, the one in which Emilia-Romagna is located, is the area that groups together the regions with one of the highest incidences of workplace mortality at a national level. At the end of April 2024, the risk of fatal injury in the region (13.8 deaths per million employed) is higher than the national average (8.7).
As regards the incidences, in detail, in the region it turns out that only Ravenna and Piacenza are in the white zone with a mortality rate of 5.9 and 0.0 respectively. They are found in red zone all the other provinces: Ferrara (20.4), Modena (18.5), Bologna (16.9), Parma (14.2), Rimini (13.9)Reggio Emilia (12.4) e Forlì-Cesena (11.2).
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: regions with an accident incidence lower than 75% of the national average incidence.
Yellow: regions with an accident incidence between 75% of the national average incidence and the national average value.
Orange: regions with an accident incidence between the national average value and 125% of the national average incidence.
Red: regions with an accident incidence higher than 125% of the national average incidence.
Manufacturing activity is the most affected sector in Emilia Romagna
Manufacturing Activities, in the first quarter of 2024, are at the top of the ranking of accident reports at work (3,974).
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 area. This index allows us to compare the accident phenomenon between different regions, even though they are characterized by a different working population.
