Italian workplace accident insurance
agency INAIL will henceforth pay victims who died on work
experience too after the family of an 18-year-old student was
denied compensation for his death on the job in a factory near
Venice in mid-September, according to an agreement reached
Thursday between Labour Minister Marina Calderone and Education
Minister Giuseppe Valditara.
The family of Giuliano De Seta, who died in an accident in the
BC Service plant at Noventa di Piave on September 16, last week
saw their bid for compensation turned down after a court upheld
INAIL's current rule that only the main wage earner is eligible
for it.
Calderone and Valditara said Thursday that the law would be
broadened to cover young people who die on the job during work
experience schemes.
There have been a number of accidents involving students on
work-experience schemes in Italy.
The government has vowed to make the schemes safer.
