Injuries At Work

In recent years, Italy has witnessed an evolution in worker protection, whose right to safety in the workplace is now enshrined by law. Nevertheless, the percentage of injuries at work shows no sign of abating, and thus safety in the workplace is a topic more relevant than ever.

An injury at work is an event that occurs while a work activity is taking place, or while one is commuting to or from work. As a result, the employee is temporarily or indefinitely unable to return to work. As studies suggest, the number of serious accidents at work are consistently high, and above all during times of adaptations to safety standards.

To protect the worker by ensuring that proper compensation is given, the Italian State has mandated obligatory insurance coverage for employees.
