Italy: Thyssenkrupp signed a protocol on safety at work for its Terni site

On February 1, Thyssenkrupp signed, with the public authoroties, and trade unions, a safety protocol for its Terni factory and for the subcontracting companies operating on the site. Aside from the increased controls on the latter, the agreement establishes coordination, at the company level, of all prevention role-players. This initiative follows the dreadful deadly accident which took place in one of the group's factories in December. (Ref. 080097)

Terni is the city where Thyssenkrupp has its main Italian undertaking, with about 3.000 people employed. This agreement, signed on February 1, directly derives from the dreadful accident which took place in December in the steelmaker’s Turin factory (see our article No. 071035) which had announced its closure a few months beforehand. This “Protocol for the forward planning of safety interventions within the Thyssenkrupp Acciai Speciali factory in Terni” was signed by the CEO of the multinational company’s Italian division, by the State secretaries of the Health Ministry and the Labour Ministry, by Terni’s Fiom, Fim and Uilm unions, by local authorities and competent institutions in terms of health protection and accident prevention.
