"Work-related health and safety risks for women have historically been underestimated and neglected, despite Article 28 of the Italian Consolidated Law on Safety at Work stipulating that gender differences should be considered when assessing risks. However, the law does not specify the exact procedures for conducting such an assessment. Risk analyses indicate that, among the protective measures, the exercise of employer organisational powers may interfere with safety obligations."
