Premier Mario Draghi said Friday that
workplace safety norms recently approved by the government sent
the "unequivocal signal that you cannot save (money) at the
expense of workers' lives" after a shocking spate of workplace
accident deaths continued with two more fatalities, one at
Sassari in Sardinia and one at Barletta in Puglia.
" I wish to express the government's, and my, satisfaction over
the workplace safety norms," said the premier.
"Over the past months we have witnessed an unacceptable number
of deaths.
"As the government, we committed ourselves to doing everything
possible to prevent these episodes happening again."
Draghi said "the norms are the realisation of this promise. We
are increasing the numbers of workplace inspectors, we are
stiffening sanctions, we are boosting computerization to improve
checks."
