Third edition of the General States of health and safety at work underway in Montecitorio.
Safety cannot be entrusted only to rules and controls, however indispensable they may be. It is essential to spread an authentic culture of prevention which must start from schools and guide our children until they enter the world of professions. The hope is that greater awareness will emerge from these days.
Protecting workers is an essential objective. Around them, institutions, businesses and social partners must build a common front, because it is work that builds the future of a community. And no future can truly be said to be such if, to conquer it, a human life is put at risk.
Thus the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Lorenzo Fontana, at the opening of the third edition of the General States of health and safety at work underway in Montecitorio.
