Brescia Implements New Legislation to Enhance Workplace Safety and Oversight

In 2025, Brescia province reported 14,717 workplace injury reports and 26 fatalities, with a mortality rate of 34.3 deaths per million workers, primarily impacting the manufacturing sector. These figures keep the area in the orange zone for occupational safety, highlighting the need for improved workplace safety and training.

In response, the Lombardy Regional Council unanimously approved Law Proposal No. 132, amending Regional Law 33/2009 to establish a regional list of trainers, a digital platform for course registration and certification, and penalties for violations. The legislation aims to enhance transparency and combat fraudulent attestations, though critics emphasize the need for quality control and specific training tailored to company risks.
