“The CNA – explains President CNA Calabria Giovanni Cugliari – Not only has he sent the order to all the associated companies, but is promoting an awareness campaign on the subject. Many of the small artisan businesses in the area are on a family basis and knowing the risks that work can involve at high temperatures is fundamental “.
CNA Calabria shares the concerns of the Fillea Cgil Calabria whose general secretary has invited the employer associations to be an active part in raising awareness of respecting the order on the torrid heat of the Calabria region.
“To the companies – adds Cugliari – we urged a reorganization of the work that takes into account the peak moments of the temperatures and those in which, however, these are tolerable, in addition to the total suspension from 12.30 to 16 as ordered by the Region”.
“Without adequate countermeasures, working with hot temperatures such as the Calabrian ones can cause illness and beyond. Working in safety is what we demand and for which we have been on the front line for some time. Pauses in the shade, guaranteeing the possibility of hydrating, shift systems that allow to reconcile the production needs with the protection of health, must be – concludes Cugliari – priority for our companies.”
