After a short review of radioactive waste origins and inventories in Italy, the paper deals with the current major challenges that Italy has to cope with to pursue its radioactive waste sustainable management and safe disposal. Site restoration by Sogin of dismissed nuclear installations is part of the waste management challenge. The importance of assuring the highest levels of safety culture among the employees and an overall manpower, adequate both in number and qualification according to the best international good practices, is underlined and included in the largest effort of the knowledge management project. Sogin is coping with the above challenges also with the Italian School on Radioprotection, Safety and Environment, a unique centre of know-how and know-why transfer in Italy.

Trade unions can play a relevant role in managing active policies on safety at work, above all in nuclear activities. Italian experience in safety at work is in the vanguard and has produced noteworthy outcomes. A significant figure is the Safety Workers’ Representative (SWR), directly elected by workers. The SWR has four basic rights: to be informed, to be trained, to be involved and to control. The SWR is an outstanding tool to build and promote safety culture as part of the individual professional background of workers. The SWR can play a main role to build and foster a safety culture, shared among governments, company and unions. The action of the unions cannot be limited to safety at works managed by SWRs, but must develop on the basis of a more elaborate policy, which aims to educate workers to safety culture, that must become a daily habit.
