Sunday night I watched a movie that dealt with this very topic today: the white deaths.
The film was called "The Last of Eden" and tells the story of a man and his best friends who were employees of a company drivers of the assigned impossible tasks, with hours and hours driving a truck.
I call it a documentary that does not comply with safety standards adhered to, those small rules that if met would make you work more safely and without risk to never see your children, your wife, your friends, but we must ask why are not met, because a truck driver has to come to risk their lives to get to that time. Because otherwise is not paid on the day of work, because if a shipment arrives two minutes after you lose your job if you lose your job and can not support your family.
Some workers falling from scaffolding because they have been wrongly fitted, Miners hit by a piece of rock that is detached, the builders fell from a roof, all the conductor betrayed by a non-working traffic lights will no longer see the light.
The white deaths occurred in Italy in 2009 against 576 to 639 of 2008, we had a decline of 10%, the statistics say that most of the deaths at work are people who come from other countries.
I had never had occasion to reflect deeply on this subject, so even if you do not read this article I have to thank the production of this film, the sublime interpretation of Massimo Ghini and all the players who produced a film with very interesting and high moral content.
The white deaths occur for absurd reasons and phenomenon in a large increase, a phenomenon that could be avoided with a little more effort.
