Waste management is continuously evolving, moreover, lack of resources and environmental hygiene issues have given more importance to recycling, establishing the basis of an increased risk in these workers. The aim of this study was to provide a description of occupational health of Italian waste workers in order to highlight key points for ad hoc interventions. Data about injuries and professional disease were extracted from the Italian National Labour Insurance Institute (INAIL) Waste work is a well-known cause of occupational accidents, however occupational disease appear to be less-known with many "unclassified" events. While new researches are needed in order to clarify these emerging issues, education could be the key to assure the waste workers health safety.
废物管理在不断发展，此外，资源短缺和环境卫生问题使回收利用变得更加重要，这也增加了这些工人面临的风险。本研究的目的是描述意大利垃圾处理工人的职业健康状况，以便突出临时干预的关键点。有关工伤和职业病的数据来自意大利国家劳动保险协会（INAIL）。垃圾处理工作是众所周知的职业事故原因，然而，职业病似乎鲜为人知，有许多“未分类”事件。虽然需要开展新的研究来澄清这些新出现的问题，但教育可能是确保垃圾处理工人健康安全的关键。
