Workplace accidents are one of the most serious unresolved issues in Italian society. According to the latest Eurostat data, Italy unfortunately holds the unenviable record for the highest number of workplace fatalities in Europe, the tip of an iceberg that recorded nearly 500,000 reported injuries in Italy in 2023. This is a problem often discussed, but only during dramatic and sensational events, without adequate preventive policies following. Among the hardest-hit productive sectors is the primary sector, where injury rates are significantly higher than the national average. In fact, around 30,000…
