This thesis analyzes the organization of the process of “criminal investigation for suspected occupational disease” within the Prevention Department of the Friuli Occidentale Health Authority (AsFO), with the aim of providing elements to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of case management. The study is based on the systematic analysis of judicial police investigations concluded between June 2021 and June 2024, through the integration of data from information systems (Me.L.Am., GIFRA, and SICP, subject to authorization by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Pordenone). The research aims to quantify the number of completed investigations, assess the frequency of causal relationship recognition between occupational exposure and disease, classify the main types of occupational diseases, and analyze the human resources involved in the investigative process. The results show a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly affecting the spine and upper limbs, as well as only one case out of a total of 535 with explicit recognition of a causal link between the occupational disease and working conditions, which resulted in a pre-trial dismissal due to extinction of the offense. Furthermore, a significant use of professional resources emerges, with relevant organizational implications. Based on these findings, a reorganization of the management model is proposed, grounded on the distinction between an epidemiological-preventive flow and a criminal flow, with the aim of optimizing resource allocation and strengthening the effectiveness of preventive activities. This approach is consistent with the public health strategies of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and with the principles introduced by the Cartabia Reform, which emphasize efficiency, selectivity of criminal prosecution, and reasonable prospect of conviction as guiding criteria for judicial action.
La presente tesi analizza l'organizzazione del processo di "indagine penale per sospetta malattia professionale" presso il Dipartimento di Prevenzione dell’Azienda Sanitaria Friuli Occidentale (AsFO), con l’obiettivo di fornire elementi utili a una gestione più efficiente ed efficace delle pratiche. Lo studio si basa sull’analisi sistematica delle indagini di Polizia Giudiziaria concluse nel periodo compreso tra giugno 2021 e giugno 2024, mediante l’integrazione dei dati provenienti dai sistemi informativi (Me.L.Am., GIFRA, SICP previa autorizzazione del Procuratore della Repubblica di Pordenone). L’elaborato si propone di quantificare il numero delle indagini concluse, valutare la frequenza del riconoscimento del nesso causale tra attività lavorativa e patologia, classificare le principali tipologie di malattie professionali e analizzare le risorse umane impiegate nel processo istruttorio. I risultati evidenziano un’elevata prevalenza di patologie muscolo-scheletriche, in particolare a carico della colonna vertebrale e dell’arto superiore, nonché una singolo caso su un totale di 535 casi di riconoscimento esplicito del nesso causale tra la tecnopatia insorta e le condizioni di lavoro, concluso con sentenza predibattimentale di non luogo a procedere per estinzione del reato. Inoltre, emerge un significativo impiego di risorse professionali, con rilevanti implicazioni organizzative. Alla luce delle evidenze emerse, viene proposta una riorganizzazione del modello gestionale basata sulla distinzione tra flusso epidemiologico-preventivo e flusso penale, al fine di ottimizzare l’impiego delle risorse e rafforzare l’efficacia delle attività di prevenzione. Tale approccio si configura come coerente con le strategie di sanità pubblica della Regione Friuli - Venezia Giulia e con i principi introdotti dalla Riforma Cartabia, che valorizzano criteri di efficienza, selettività dell’azione penale e ragionevole previsione di condanna quali parametri guida per l’esercizio dell’attività giudiziaria.

Abstract
This thesis analyzes the organization of the process of “criminal investigation for suspected occupational disease” within the Prevention Department of the Friuli Occidentale Health Authority (AsFO), with the aim of providing elements to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of case management. The study is based on the systematic analysis of judicial police investigations concluded between June 2021 and June 2024, through the integration of data from information systems (Me.L.Am., GIFRA, and SICP, subject to authorization by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Pordenone). The research aims to quantify the number of completed investigations, assess the frequency of causal relationship recognition between occupational exposure and disease, classify the main types of occupational diseases, and analyze the human resources involved in the investigative process. The results show a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly affecting the spine and upper limbs, as well as only one case out of a total of 535 with explicit recognition of a causal link between the occupational disease and working conditions, which resulted in a pre-trial dismissal due to extinction of the offense. Furthermore, a significant use of professional resources emerges, with relevant organizational implications. Based on these findings, a reorganization of the management model is proposed, grounded on the distinction between an epidemiological-preventive flow and a criminal flow, with the aim of optimizing resource allocation and strengthening the effectiveness of preventive activities. This approach is consistent with the public health strategies of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and with the principles introduced by the Cartabia Reform, which emphasize efficiency, selectivity of criminal prosecution, and reasonable prospect of conviction as guiding criteria for judicial action.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
