The general manager of INAIL said so, Marcello Fioriin a meeting at Prosthesis Center of the Institute in Lamezia Terme. A meeting “to take stock of the progress of accidents at work that presents data some positive and others worrying, do it together with local institutions because the involvement of all the actors who can give a hand to reduce accidents is fundamental”, has Added flowers observing that “even if the data in Calabria, for example, record a decrease in the victims during 2024, we are not satisfied at all”.
For flowers “Prevention means making available economic incentives to companies, especially very small ones, to make sure that they can make investments in the exchange of machinery and in the training of their operators. Do this means contributing significantly to the reduction of the accident. Inail every year – recalled the general manager of the Institute – allocates over 600 million euros for this type of activity and over 50 million euros for training. We will do so, with the help of local institutions and trade associations, that all companies, especially small ones, participate in this type of policies and incentive “.
Fiori: “The Lamezia prosthesis center is a point of excellence”
“The Lamezia Terme prosthesis center is a point of excellence and enormous potential”. “Despite the prevention policies – noted Fiori – the accidents at work happen, and also in a serious form, such as to also require a prosthetic and in any case physiotherapy for long periods of life. These people have the right to have a health of excellence and be followed throughout their lives. The center of Lamezia, together with that of Vigorso di Budrio which is our other excellence in the center-north, is destined to become a hub for this type of situations, not only for Calabria, but for all regions of the South D Italy and also with a projection of the Mediterranean countries because the production, assistance, technology and innovation capacity that is here is available not only of the territory but of the entire country. From here – supported the general manager of Inail – the relaunch of this center, which I visit for the third time in a few months because I believe that inside the system in all the Protestic Center of Lamezia Terme is a point of excellence and enormous potential too for the economic development of the territory “.
