Occupational accidents still represent for EU area an heavy challenge to deal with, despite in 1989 the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (article 153) stated that ‘[…] the Union shall support and complement the activities of the Member States in the following fields: (a) improvement in particular of the working environment to protect workers’ health and safety; […]’ After more than 20 years of Work Safety policy, in 2013 Eurostat registered for the EU-28 area more than 3.1 million of work-load non-fatal accidents with at least four calendar days of absence from work, and 3647 fatal accidents. In 1994 Italy adopted the EU 89/931 Directive on work safety with the 626 Legislative Decree 626, substituted in 2008 by the 81/08 Legislative Decree, which introduced the risk-based decision making concept. In this paper the impact of Safety Work laws on the Italian occupational accident domain is investigated. A detailed study to assess the evolution of non-fatal and fatal accidents is presented, analyzing the Italian occupational accident data-base before the 626 Legislative Decree (1994), and after the enforcement of the main Safety Work laws.
