July 8th 2024
Every year, July 8th marks International Mediterranean Sea Day, an anniversary dedicated to the protection and preservation of this sea and its precious ecosystems. The Mediterranean Sea, known as Mare Nostrum, is an amazing basin despite covering only 1% of the world's ocean surface. In fact, it is home to about 7% of the global marine fauna, with an impressive 30% of endemic species. This rich biodiversity is due to its strategic geographical position, linking the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Black and Red Seas to the east, as well as the variety of its seabed, which reaches depths of up to 5,000 metres.
The Mediterranean Sea, which nourished the ancient civilisations of southern Europe and North Africa, now faces unprecedented transformations due to population growth and climate change. These factors are significantly altering coastal ecosystems and marine species. Only 9% of the Mediterranean Sea falls within protected areas and an even smaller percentage is actually protected. The need for conservation and protection actions is therefore crucial for the health of the sea and the coastal communities that depend on its services.
Each of us can make a difference in protecting the Mediterranean Sea. Adopting responsible behaviour, such as reducing the use of plastic, participating in beach clean-ups, supporting marine conservation organisations and spreading awareness about the importance of the Mediterranean, are crucial steps to ensure its health and sustainability.
Soldini has always been committed to studying and safeguarding the health of the oceans, particularly that of the Mediterranean Sea where he has carried out analyses to understand the state of health of the Mare Nostrum. In this regard, he describes the Mediterranean as a delicate place because it is very closed, subjected to a very high human presence, heats up a lot, is shallow and has little exchangeability. The Mediterranean is therefore a hotspot of the global sea pollution problem.
Together we are dedicated to promoting and developing innovative solutions to protect the health of our planet as well as that of workers.
In addition to the safety of the sea, we also want to be committed to the workers who work in close contact with the sea. This is why BLS has decided to take new routes by committing itself to bringing protection and innovation to the marine industry.
Our respiratory protective devices aim to be a benchmark for protection against threats in the working environment, providing reliable and comfortable protection for operators during boat maintenance and repair activities.
To help operators work safely and efficiently, we have created a comprehensive safety and protection guide. This resource provides practical advice and guidelines for the correct use of our protective equipment, ensuring optimal protection in every situation.
In addition to the vademecum, a catalogue was published entirely dedicated to respiratory protection in the shipbuilding industry, offering a wide selection of protective equipment designed to meet the specific needs of the sector.

Covid19 almost reached us - coming 60 kilometres from our company - on 21 February 2020. And from then on our life was changed forever.2020 was, for us, a year on the frontline of the Covid19 emergency. During the Coronavirus pandemic, we changed from a “niche” company to being at the centre of a production system of essential goods for the protection of people's health: thanks to machines designed and engineered internally, and to the synergies with universities and market partners, we have always been able to have a competitive production, even with respect to China. All this without increasing the prices of our facemask, supplying hospitals, old people’s homes and law enforcement, supporting various associations with the donation of over 40 thousand masks.
Polveri e nebbie Le polveri e le nebbie costituiscono una delle classi di sostanze inquinanti per l’igiene del lavoro pericolose per le vie respiratorie. Con il termine “particolato” si identifica comunemente l’insieme di queste sostanze caratterizzate da una struttura chimico-fisica di tipo particellare, che si presenta sotto forma di particelle liquide (nebbie) o solide (fumi […]
