Inspections in the Como area

A construction site in Lurate Caccivio was inspected on October 12, 2026, by the Carabinieri of the Como Labor Inspectorate Unit, assisted by the Territorial Labor Inspectorate. The morning saw inspections and sanctions in the Como area, with the operation focused on the site's safety conditions.

The operation is part of the extraordinary inspection plan devoted to preventing workplace accidents and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations at construction sites. The plan referred to in the report therefore has two objectives: preventing accidents and ensuring the application of safety rules in places where construction work is carried out.

The inspection involved the Carabinieri of the Como Labor Inspectorate Unit and the Territorial Labor Inspectorate. During the operation, law enforcement officers and inspectors found deficiencies both in the site's structure and in the required paperwork.

The inspection thus initiated the investigations that led to the subsequent measures. The construction site inspected is located in Lurate Caccivio, and the operation was carried out as part of the extraordinary inspections into safety at construction sites.

Operational details

The irregularities identified

Documents, protective measures and traffic routes

The inspection brought to light a set of problems that the report places in two areas: structural and bureaucratic issues. It was not just the documentation that was challenged, because the inspectors and the Carabinieri also recorded conditions related to protective measures and the organization of internal spaces.

From a bureaucratic standpoint, the construction site lacked the POS, that is, the Operational Safety Plan. In terms of accident prevention, however, adequate protection against falls from height was found to be absent. These are the two findings listed along with the other deficiencies identified during the inspection.

A further issue concerned the ladders, which were found not to comply with safety rules. Internal traffic within the construction site was also deemed irregular and dangerous. The findings therefore concern documents, protective measures, ladders and movement arrangements within the work area.

The violations were attributed to accident-prevention legislation. In the report, the lack of the POS, the absence of protection against falls, non-compliant ladders and irregular internal traffic make up the picture of the serious irregularities identified at the construction site in Lurate Caccivio. These are the safety deficiencies identified following the inspection conducted by law enforcement and the inspectors.

Key points

Report and suspension

The consequences of the inspection

The sole director of the company carrying out the work was reported by the Carabinieri without being detained: he is 59 years old, is of Argentine origin and resides in Lurate Caccivio.

For the company, however, measures directly related to the construction site's activities were imposed. The first is the immediate suspension of the work because of the serious safety deficiencies identified during the inspection. The second consists of administrative fines for a further 5.500 euro.

The measure described therefore includes a report against the sole director, who was not detained, and two consequences for the company: the immediate stoppage of operations and administrative fines. The link to the findings is explicit: the suspension was ordered because of the serious safety deficiencies that emerged at the construction site.

According to the report, the intervention confirms the utmost attention of the local authorities to protecting workers and preventing risks in construction settings. The documented outcome following the checks is therefore the suspension of operations, together with the report against the director and the additional administrative amount specified for the company.
