Sicurezza del lavoro in appalto e ruolo del Committente: breve cronologia giuridica del principio di responsabilità

Abstract

The essay deals with the issue of the Contractor’s liability for accidents in the procurement chain, examining the legislative development and criminal and civil jurisprudence. The Author underlines the slow erosion of the original principle of the Contractor’s exemption from the duty of safety and his liability for damages towards the workers used in the contract, also as a result of the evolution of the EU regulatory framework.
