The new 'Pact for safety at work' is underway: 10 rules launched today by Terna, which involved around 2000 of the company's suppliers in the initiative, with the aim of promoting an innovative tool in terms of safety for sustainable growth of the participating companies.
The 10 rules were presented during an event organized by Terna, which, in addition to the Chairman, Luigi Roth, and the Corporate Affairs Director, Giuseppe Lasco, was attended by the Minister of Labor and Social Policies, Enrico Giovannini, the Chairman Inail, Massimo De Felice, the vice president for industrial relations of Confindustria, Stefano Dolcetta, and the head of the special body of the fire brigade, Alfio Pini.
“The new Pact that we are launching today is the starting point for a new way of implementing security in Italy – commented Luigi Roth – but it is also the culmination of a work of analysis and evaluation of experiences. For a company like Terna, which has 250 construction sites open for a value of over 3 billion euros throughout the country, with 4.000 resources and more than 750 companies employed every day, it is above all a choice of field, in the belief that the moral, as well as legal, duty to guarantee the health and safety of every single hour of work is an important growth factor".
The 10 rules that substantiate it (see attachment) are summarized in as many keywords, starting from the binomial safety-health, from top management to top management and every single employee; and then again from dialogue to continuous improvement, from control to training, from integrated system to working together, from roles to innovation and, finally, excellence.
Adhering to the Pact means putting healthy and safe workplaces first and continuous improvement in dedicated prevention and training activities. The prevention activity contemplates in-depth periodic checks on open construction sites. In addition, at its Campus training centre, Terna has activated 17 specialized courses on safety, providing approximately 42 hours of safety training in the last year out of 143 hours of total training.
