The type of PPE to use is indicated in the company’s DVR (Risk Assessment Document) for the individual tasks to be performed.

The DVR is integrated with that of the customer at whose facilities (refineries, stores, workshops) we perform our activities.

The Aaronite Italia S.r.l. provides you with the PPE, instructs you on their correct use, constantly eavesdrops that you use them and adhere to security precautions. If you do not feel secure about security, endanger yourself, your work colleagues, and light up the company you work for, making it harder to find work at your clients and thus generate income that also serves guarantee your salary every month.

Law 300/1970 empowers your employer to recall you in various ways, to impose disciplinary sanctions, and Law 81/2008 also gives you the power to dismiss yourself if you repeatedly do not comply with the safety requirements.

Therefore, whenever you find yourself out of work and do not use the PPE  you will be:

  • immediately summoned by the Shipowner or the Security Officer or Customer himself;
  • within 10 days the verbal appeal will be formalized by the office in writing with a letter of recall,
  • If from the 5th and 20th of the notice of the call letter we do not receive your justifications for the incident, you will have a day off from unpaid work or a fine that will be deducted from your paycheck.
  • if you have more written remarks, the employer may, according to the applicable law, also decide to release you to safeguard your life, your colleagues’ lives and the good name and seriousness of the company.
