Workers safety

Marazzi sees environmental protection as something that extends to both the outside and the inside of the plant, including the physical and psychological health and safety of the people who work there.
This has traditionally been a significant part of the company's management activities, and Marazzi devotes all the necessary human, financial, and organizational resources to this important and increasingly topical matter. The factory has had its own in-house occupational medicine service since the second half of the 1960s.
Italian Legislative Decree 626/94 on workplace prevention and safety was already being fully applied at company sites as early as 1996.
The evaluation report that it calls for was prepared with the contribution of all company divisions, labour representatives, and employees, with special meetings and sessions arranged for dialogue and feedback.
Management of worker health and safety issues is grounded in the guidelines set by Legs. Decree 626/94, and first and foremost, the assessment of risks found at the workplace.
Enormous attention is devoted to assessing the risks connected to different activities, task by task, including risks not covered by regulations.
It is through careful risk assessment that workplace health and safety strategies are implemented.
The basic guidelines, along with other initiatives, can be summarized as follows:

In-house recycling, for processing waste

Monitoring the safety systems applied to the process

Use of PPE (personal protection equipment)

Health checkups targeted at the risks that have been identified

Training and widely diffused information at all levels of the company

Application of all organizational and procedural requirements laid out in 626/94

Periodic audit.
