Despite their importance, the oceans are now more than ever under siege.
The main threats include:
Pollution: marine waters are increasingly contaminated by plastics, heavy metals, chemicals and industrial waste. Plastic, in particular, poses a serious threat to marine life, with millions of tonnes ending up in the oceans every year.
Climate change: rising global temperatures cause sea levels to rise, oceans to acidify and polar ice to melt. These changes have devastating effects on marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
Overfishing: intensive and illegal fishing, together with the destruction of natural habitats, has brought many marine species to the brink of extinction.
Loss of biodiversity: the degradation of coastal habitats, such as coral reefs and mangroves, threatens the survival of many species and reduces the resilience of marine ecosystems.
World Oceans Day is a time to take action and promote marine conservation. There are many actions we can take such as reducing plastics, supporting sustainable fishing by purchasing fish products certified for marine conservation. It is important to protect marine habitats by actively participating in, for example, beach clean-up initiatives, but also by informing and raising awareness about all possible solutions for lasting change.
Commitment, protection and defence are the cornerstones of individual safety that BLS promotes on a daily basis, but on days like today we want to emphasise how the security of our planet also affects our health. That is why today we want to celebrate commitment, protection and defence as cornerstones of safeguarding our greatest resource: the oceans.
Our partner Giovanni Soldini has also always promoted this concept and together we are committed to promoting and developing innovative solutions that protect the health of our planet as much as that of our workers.
Protecting the oceans is a collective responsibility that requires the commitment of each and every one of us. Only through conscious and concerted action can we hope to preserve these extraordinary ecosystems for future generations. Let us therefore celebrate this day not only with reflection, but with determination and concreteness, to ensure a sustainable future for the oceans and the life they sustain.
Tutti hanno diritto a un lavoro sicuro La nostra campagna pubblicitaria 2021 è dedicata alla sicurezza sul luogo di lavoro, da sempre core business di BLS e da oggi non solo. Il 2021 ha obbligato tutti noi a fronteggiare una emergenza sanitaria globale, in cui la protezione respiratoria ha avuto un ruolo primario. Se fino […]
Gas e vapori I gas e i vapori rientrano in quelle classi di sostanze che possono minacciare la salute delle vie respiratorie e che necessitano di regolamentazioni specifiche in ambito professionale. I gas si distinguono per l’estrema volatilità, in quanto a temperatura e pressione ambiente si presentano allo stato aeriforme. (es. ossigeno, azoto, anidride […]
Sicurezza sul lavoro: un po' di dati Analizzando i dati infortunistici messi a disposizione dall’INAIL e analizzati da Vega Engineering sul primo trimestre del 2024 in Italia, vediamo che la scarsa sicurezza sul lavoro è ancora un problema che costa la vita o la salute a tanti, troppi, lavoratori. La sicurezza sul lavoro è […]
