Description

The video raises awareness about chemical risks, depicting a migrant worker ignoring hazards and not using personal protection equipment such as safety gloves. In the video, two of the employer's obligations are highlighted: (1) chemical risk assessment and (2) assessment of the risk arising from the presence of foreign workers. In this case, the worker is exposed to the risk of using harmful products without proper knowledge of their use, a situation aggravated by inadequate knowledge of Italian. The lack of personal protection equipment, such as gloves, is also emphasised.
