The course aspires to grant an institutional knowledge of the criminal proceeding, through the analysis of its qualifying principles, with particular regard to technical-scientific investigation instruments concerning the workplace safety field. Moreover, the student will achieve, also through a case law analysis, the juridical skills and the methodological tools to face and solve the main issues regarding the ascertaining of crimes in the field of hygiene, health and safety at work.

The first part of the course will illustrate the accusatory criminal trial - introduced by the 1989 criminal procedure code - through examining its inspiring principles, constitutional coordinates, subjects, phases, and evidence formation rules. The second part of the course will be dedicated to the crimes ascertainment methods in the workplace safety field, analyzing both the procedural code's "traditional" instruments application and the code's provisions referring specifically to workplace safety context. On one side, particular attention will be paid to the preliminary investigations peculiarities, examining the prevention and safety service technicians’ role at workplace; the guidelines contained in the "inter-forces" protocols (Public Prosecutor's Office, Inail, Ausl, Regional work directorate); the employment in this context of high technical-scientific coefficient instruments (technical assessments, unrepeatable technical assessments, appraisals, technical advice). On the other side, the offences' extinguishing mechanisms in matter of hygiene, health and safety at work will be examined as set forth in the d. lgs. n. 758 of 1994 and in the d. lgs. n. 81 of 2008 (the primary regulations about protection of health and safety in the workplace); moreover, the main application problems of the so called conditional oblation will be analyzed through both the analysis of the Court of Cassation jurisprudence and the solution of practical cases.
