The health emergency caused by the spread of the Covid-19
virus also involved a real economic emergency.
As known, the “lock-down” and the measures with
the aim to preventing the spread of the virus (according to Dpcm of 22 March
2020 )and extended until next 3 May 2020 (according to the Dpcm of 10 April
2020), has imposed the suspension of most (estimated at not less than 50%) of
production activities.
In the coming days, Italy should start Phase 2, in which
there will be a gradual restart.
In this complex situations that companies shoudl face, we
are witnessing of a succession of cinterventions by institutions and bodies –
at international, national and regional level – aimed at drawing up
guidelines containing prevention measures to reduce the spread of the virus in
the workplace and to ensure a safe restart of business activities.
Just think of the “Covid-19: guidance for the
workplace” published by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work
(Eu-Osha) and the “Technical document on the possible remodulation of
measures to contain SARS-CoV-2 infection in the workplace and prevention
strategies” published by INAIL currently submitted to the Government,
which will use it as a further source on which to implement the next prevention
measures for the expected Phase 2.
The aim of the Technical Document is to provide the
political operator, and therefore ultimately the Government, with information
of a statistical nature that is also useful for carrying out an assessment
aimed at determining the levels of progressive priority of intervention on the
resumption of productive activities during the often hoped-for Phase 2, as well
as the intervention strategies to be implemented in the workplace.
