Health protection

The health of workers who, depending on the task performed, are exposed to specific risk factors, is monitored through health surveillance activities carried out by dedicated health professionals. To guarantee a work environment that meets occupational hygiene standards, environmental surveys are periodically conducted aimed at monitoring micro-climate, biological and physical aspects of the locations. In addition, Snam absolutely prohibits the drinking of alcoholic beverages while at work. After a year in which no reports of any kind were received, one case of an occupational illness was reported in 2019 which is being investigated.
