The chapter is centred on an analysis of the new policies for health and security at work in Italy in the period 2007-2008 after the tragic sequence of deaths at work at the Thyssen Group and other important companies. In particular, an in-depth analysis of the new "Testo Unico" for health and security of April 2008 is carried out together with the political events that brought to its approval between the Prodi and the Berlusconi government. Secondly, statistical data on incidents at work are presented and examined in a comparative perspective. Finally the chapter suggests some theoretical interpretations of the reasons why the "culture" of security and health in the work places is insufficiently diffused in Italy.

Abstract
The chapter is centred on an analysis of the new policies for health and security at work in Italy in the period 2007-2008 after the tragic sequence of deaths at work at the Thyssen Group and other important companies. In particular, an in-depth analysis of the new "Testo Unico" for health and security of April 2008 is carried out together with the political events that brought to its approval between the Prodi and the Berlusconi government. Secondly, statistical data on incidents at work are presented and examined in a comparative perspective. Finally the chapter suggests some theoretical interpretations of the reasons why the "culture" of security and health in the work places is insufficiently diffused in Italy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
