"Safety is not a bureaucratic detail but an essential value. Only through rigorous compliance with rules, checks, and a true culture of prevention can we protect people and ensure that entertainment venues remain spaces of social interaction, not tragedy." This was the message launched by Fipe and Silb Confcommercio Sud Sardegna, at the end of the conference entitled "The Value of Safety."
"Not all public establishment managers pay the same attention as Silb-affiliated nightclubs and venues. We're talking about adequate emergency exits, proper use of fireproof materials, compliance with authorized capacities and fire regulations, from the presence of fire extinguishers and hose reels to the use of trained and certified staff. These are all essential elements to ensure safe entertainment for customers," explains Andrea Massa, Silb provincial president.
Two months after the fire in Switzerland that killed 41 people and injured 115, Confcommercio Sud Sardegna takes stock of the main regulations required to work safely. "In Italy, regulations are carefully enforced, but it's crucial to remember what employers must do in the workplace: what training courses to provide, what tools to implement. The principle of legality must become a core value of the company and not be perceived as a cost," emphasizes Emanuele Frongia, president of FIPE. "This is why, he concludes, trade associations are supporting entrepreneurs, including by providing free training and support."
