TRIESTE – Fincantieri launches its first Safety Day in Monfalcone: safety at the heart of the industrial model and injuries down 40%.
Safety as a founding value of the industrial model and a strategic lever for development. This is the message at the centre of Fincantieri’s first Safety Day, organised today at the Monfalcone shipyard to mark World Day for Safety and Health at Work.
The event brought together company management, institutions and representatives from the academic and cultural worlds, opening with a minute’s silence in memory of the victims of workplace accidents. A symbolic moment that underlined the intention to build a “pact of shared responsibility” between the company, workers and the production chain.
Fincantieri, a world-leading shipbuilding group and a central player in Monfalcone’s industrial system — a city of major shipyards and a strategic hub for shipbuilding and metalworking — thus reaffirmed an approach in which safety is not merely a regulatory obligation, but a structural component of the production model.
The results confirm the direction taken: from 2022 to 2025, the Group recorded an almost 40% reduction in injury frequency and severity rates, with further improvements also compared with the previous year (IF -3.83%, IG -10.53%). This trend consolidates Fincantieri’s position among the leading European operators in the sector.
At the heart of the company’s strategy is an evolution of the prevention model, increasingly moving from a reactive to a predictive approach. The system integrates the active participation of workers through Safety Observations, the use of data analysis and the introduction of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence tools for the early identification of risks.
«Safety is an industrial lever and a strategic choice that runs through the entire organisation», said CEO and general manager Pierroberto Folgiero. «It means ensuring operational continuity and process reliability, but above all putting people’s lives at the centre. Safety is a pact of shared responsibility between the company and individuals».
On the same line, Human Resources and Real Estate director Luciano Sale stressed how a culture of safety is built through training and involvement: “Every person must be an active protagonist in prevention. It is a value that is built every day and throughout the entire supply chain”.
The involvement of the production chain itself represents a further key element: Fincantieri is developing a model of collaboration with suppliers based on active partnership, the sharing of best practices and the strengthening of safety standards across the entire industrial ecosystem.
Safety Day will become a recurring appointment for the Group, with the aim of consolidating a structured path of discussion and continuous improvement. An initiative confirming that, in a complex production system such as shipbuilding, safety is increasingly a competitive factor as well as a social and industrial value.
