Six workers died in Mineo, a community of about 5000 souls in Catanese. The hypothesis more likely is that the cause of death has been the emission of toxic substances in the bath of purification of the municipality, but expects the results of the autopsy. Salvatore Tumino, Salvatore Smecca, Giuseppe Palumbo, Giuseppe Zaccaria, Giovanni Salvatore Pulici Christmas and Sofia are dead embraced, probably in an attempt to save his own life story. Yet another tragedy that is consumed in the workplace and in the same day is not an isolated case: in fact, have recorded four more deaths at work in Modena, Alessandria, Imperia and Nuoro. A shocking tragedy, before which can not be spent if no word of sympathy and compassion for the families of the victims. In a country like our own, conditioned by a strong idea of \u200b\u200bsocial security developed after World War II, which gives centrality to the human person, it is disheartening to say that you can still die from work. Only three months ago we cried the five victims of Truck Center in Molfetta and certainly will never forget the massacre of ThyssenKrupp. We must first have to be careful not to commit the serious mistake of getting used to these tragic events and reach even to the terrible conclusion that they fall "nell'alea normal" employment. But to prevent this from happening again, and in any case, to dramatically reduce the risk of further dead white, it is necessary to locate the centroid of the question, distrusting the usual, misleading, ideological fetishes. This is not a problem of rules, but rather a cultural perspective. The protection of health and safety in the workplace, prevention and risk management are all factors that must be shared by businesses and workers by a solid campaign for the prevention and cultural literacy. The culture of prevention is a dynamic concept: the way of crystallization in law is not enough. You can intensify the legal requirements, you can increase penalties, but this does not ensure their strict observance, or the avoidance of accidents themselves. Interviewed by The Messenger, December 10 edition of Last year, Michele Tiraboschi, professor of labor law at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, answering the question of the journalist on measures to address the issue of workplace fatalities, said: "influence behavior both those who make business and workers and promoting a culture of prevention. If we think it's a matter of rules, we delude ourselves. Also because often these laws are not enforced. " It is the same view, Labour Minister Maurizio Sacconi, who met yesterday afternoon at 16:30 all the social partners in order to prepare a special plan to spread optimum safety conditions in all workplaces, primarily by investing in prevention, education and information. Sacconi has highlighted the need to create a shared frame of monitoring necessary to ensure a safe environment, relying on the State and the Regions with the task of strengthening the control and supervision, even if it is fully aware that the inspections and rules, alone will not suffice. The unions, meanwhile, is calling in unison the inviolability of the Consolidated Security, and asking not to mitigate the sanction. In yesterday but has not discussed any changes to the legislation passed by the Prodi government but any additions will be the subject of debate between the (sun) Social partners. Moreover, according to Bonanni the plan could be financed using 12 billion budget surplus set aside by Inail 2000; the words of the secretary of the CISL national acclaim at gather no doubt avenue of Astronomy, since about three months ago, during the controversy about the contents of the Consolidated, Confindustria had advanced the same proposal to finance preventive measures. In conclusion, it is illusory to think that the only law-making represents a totem to the health of workers. A system of penalties and enforcement of rules sated with unnecessary formality, could distract from the business and employee issues and more effective. A welter of red tape can not that lead to uncertain outcomes and results. The other guiding principles are: prevention and education. So we avoid looking at the finger and miss, however, the moon.
