[Proposals on health surveillance contained in the bill No. 2389 presented by Senator Smuraglia].
The Italian Interassociative Council for the Prevention has examined the bill n. 2389 of senator Smuraglia, expressing appreciation for the initiative (demanded since a long time by the operators of the field) and for the remarkable commitment in the drawing up of such an extensive and well-organized text. At the same time the IICP set up and forwarded to senator Smuraglia some notes and additional proposals, as well as proposals for partial changes, on the following topics:--employer's functions--relationship between the employer and the surveillance bodyprevention and protection service--medical surveillance and "Competent Doctor" threshold limit values--informational system--institutional expertise--omologation--penalty system. In this report we quote the notes expressed with reference to the chapter about the medical surveillance and the competent doctor, of interest of this meeting. We can anticipate with satisfaction that senator Smuraglia admitted many of our proposals and that on their basis he signed a few amendments. Between the proposals we suggested I would like to mention the one concerning the overcoming of the existing medical surveillance system. This is a strict system, essentially outlined by the Law 303/56 (article n. 33) and by the Law 1124/65, by now inadequate with reference to the new working reality and to the current pathology correlated to it. We submit some considerations and the first hypothesis on the constructions of a model of medical surveillance more flexible and open, in conformity with the new reality and the recommendations of the E.U.
