TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - The workplace injury trends in the petrochemical industry: From data analysis to risk management JO - Giornale Italiano di Medicina del Lavoro ed Ergonomia A1 - Campo, Giuseppe A1 - Martini, Benedetta SP - 285 EP - 287 VL - 35 IS - 4 N2 - The most recent INAIL data show that, in 2009-2011, the accident frequency rate and the severity rate of workplace injuries in the chemical industry are lower than for the total non-agricultural workforce. The chemical industry, primarily because of the complex and hazardous work processes, requires an appropriate system for assessing and monitoring specific risks.The implementation of Responsible Care, a risk management system specific for the chemical industry, in 1984, has represented a historical step in the process of critical awareness of risk management by the chemical companies. Responsible Care is a risk management system specifically designed on the risk profiles of this type of enterprise, which integrates safety, health and environment. A risk management system, suitable for the needs of a chemical company, should extend its coverage area, beyond the responsible management of products throughout the entire production cycle, to the issues of corporate responsibility.
