How Does Points License Score Work For Construction Sites?
Each company starts with a total of 30 credits. These credits are reduced in the event of ascertained violations of safety regulations on construction sites. Specifically, the following are lost:
- 10 serious violation claims listed in Annex I;
- 7 receivables for workers’ exposure to the risks indicated in Annex XI;
- 5 credits for violations provided for by Law no. 73 of 2002;
- 20 credits in the event of liability of the company for a fatal accident;
- 15 credits in the event of an accident with permanent disability (total or partial);
- 10 credits for an accident involving the absence of the worker for more than 40 days.
