Petrolchimiche Raffinerie
1. conferma che i MM verificati nei lavoratori delle P o R devono essere considerati malattie professionali;
2. suggerisce che, in relazione alle condizioni di lavoro e alla mancanza di sistemi di protezione, non solo i manutentori, ma anche altri addetti agli impianti di R o P possono essere stati esposti ad amianto;
3. raccomanda la necessità di una costante vigilanza da parte delle ASL e dei medici competenti, data la possibile pre-senza di coibentazioni in amianto negli impianti di R e P ancora attivi, nell’intento di attuare una reale prevenzione e tutela della salute dei lavoratori.
