Covid anti-contagion protocol at work. Confsal: “Optical good of prudence”

by time news

Confsal “has signed the anti-contagion security protocol from Covid-19 in non-health workplaces, welcoming the view of prudence, in consideration of the current trend of the epidemiological curve”. General Secretary Angelo Raffaele Margiotta said this, recalling that “Confsal actively participated in the meeting with its proposals, together with the other social partners, at the table with the Ministry of Labor, with the Ministry of Health, with Mise and Inail , giving a critical and proactive contribution “.

Some elements need to be clarified. For Confsal “in the points where the health authority is called into question, it is necessary to specify which one, since there is confusion in the territory: there are off-site workers, commuters or, in any case, without a general practitioner; contact the ASL or who else? It was a failure to contact the ASL in the most acute periods of viral spread. When it comes to adequate distance it must be specified: the distance has varied over time and still remains indicated with a different value based on circumstances and places “. Furthermore, “in the management of employees’ entry and exit, it does not appear correct to speak of an entry door and an exit door, which are not always present, among other things, but of ‘entry and exit flows, differentiated and separated, where possible'”.

And again, “when we talk about health surveillance it is necessary to specify whether we mean the ‘exceptional’ one, as can be understood, in order not to generate confusion and it is necessary to establish which documents / documentation / documentary form the competent doctor must produce, also taking into account that already with interministerial decree of 4 February the frail were certified by the general practitioner and no longer by the competent doctor, who thus was able to limit himself to verifying only the goodness of the same and communicating it internally “. On the other hand, Consal continues, “it must be clarified that the health checks essential to detect states of fragility-Covid-19 are not and cannot be the responsibility of the employer”.

Having said this, for Confsal, “however, it is necessary to clarify the procedures for implementing the ‘exceptional health surveillance’ by the competent doctor who obviously, with the exception of the medical history and physical examination during the medical examination, has no provision of medical devices for instrumental diagnostics which, on the other hand, the NHS is equipped with so the competent doctor can obviously only evaluate any health documentation, possibly provided by the worker “.
