The European Week for Safety and Health at Work is being observed through various regional initiatives in Italy. Early preparations included collaborations involving ASL Novara and several other ASL units, such as Biella, Vercelli, and Verbano Cusio Ossola.

As the week progresses, specific programs have been launched in regions like Cuneo and Pavia. In Cuneo, Confindustria Cuneo is organizing training sessions, conferences, and webinars to promote workplace prevention. In Pavia, the Inail Provincial Advisory Committee is hosting a conference dedicated to the recognition and prevention of occupational diseases.

These initiatives respond to recent statistical trends, including a reported 0.8% increase in workplace injuries in Italy during 2025 and a long-term rise in occupational illnesses, which have increased by 11% nationally and 17% in Lombardy over the last 26 years.
