Vulnerable worker definition
Vulnerable worker means any worker with an illness that increases their susceptibility to viral infection: immunosuppressed individuals (Circular 7942-27/03/2020 of the Ministry of Health), pregnant women, individuals affected by chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, lung diseases, kidney diseases. Workers shall be informed of the specific regulations and are invited to contact their General Practitioner (GP), in order to obtain the certification for those at greater risk of infection, according to INPS provisions (code V07 in the medical certificate). In fact, the university medical officer may not be aware of this (video terminal operators who visit every five years), or it may concern employees not subject to health surveillance.
