New Provisions of Legislative Decree 159/2025 on Prevention

The new Legislative Decree 159/2025 introduces rigorous measures to strengthen corporate prevention, enhancing Occupational Medicine through a model oriented towards real-world risk. Companies are required to update their health protocols and carry out continuous monitoring to ensure full regulatory compliance and health protection.

What changes for workplace safety with Legislative Decree 159/2025?

The decree acts on three fundamental pillars to raise Prevention and Protection standards:

• More structured and mandatory training for Workers' Safety Representatives (RLS), extended uniformly to SMEs as well, with updated operational tools.
• Management of near misses as new risk indicators, encouraging organisations to identify critical issues before they turn into harmful events.
• Additional medical examinations in high-risk activities where alcohol or substance use is suspected, to protect workers' health and reduce hazard factors in sensitive contexts.

Who is responsible for updating the company health protocol?

The employer's responsibility is central to adopting a dynamic and integrated healthcare approach, and the support of the Occupational Physician is essential for validating the new safety parameters and for integrating the prevention and protection measures needed to avoid penalties.
