“For Autostrade per l’Italia, safety is at the center of every strategy: safety on construction sites, safety for travellers, safety of infrastructures. We deploy all the tools available to achieve this fundamental objective.” He said it Arrigo GianaCEO of Autostrade per l’Italia, underlining the role of the motorway network in the national economic system, during his speech at the event “Infrastructure 2030: beyond the PNRR, the Italy of the Future“, organized by FILT CGIL.
“A concrete example, the result of this synergy with the unions, is the Stop Work Authority: a simple but powerful tool, already operational on our construction sites, according to which every worker has the right – and the duty – to stop activities if they believe there are risks to their own safety or that of their colleagues. It makes no difference whether he is a worker of Aspi or a worker of a third-party company. This approach strengthens the culture of safety, promotes shared responsibility and enhances the active role of each person in protecting health at work. Coming home after working is a right, as well as the primary objective of our company”.
“The dealer system – added Giana – it is a virtuous system of investments that does not depend on public funding. For Autostrade per l’Italia the priorities are clear: ensuring the progress of investments, protecting safety and quality of service. The development of the motorway infrastructure has, in the history of the country, favored the development of the territories and today traffic is constantly growing. Our Plan provides around 30 billion euros and constitutes a solid industrial base to guarantee the long-term resilience of such a vital infrastructure and realize our great network regeneration plan. A very important booster because in fact it arrives just when the PNRR resources will run out”.
