Turin Labour Inspectorate (Nucleo Ispettorato del Lavoro di Torino)
The Turin Labour Inspectorate, also known as the Nucleo Carabinieri Ispettorato del Lavoro di Torino, is a unit of the Carabinieri with jurisdiction over Turin and its province. It carries out inspections at businesses to verify compliance with labour and workplace safety regulations, with the aim of countering undeclared work and protecting workers' rights [1][2].
Duties
The unit's personnel check the regularity of employment relationships, the drafting of the Risk Assessment Document (DVR), the training and information given to workers, the carrying-out of mandatory medical check-ups, and the suitability of work equipment. In the event of violations, they can impose administrative penalties, fines and business-suspension orders, as well as reporting those responsible to the judicial authorities [1][2].
November 2026 checks
On 12 November 2026 an operation carried out by the Turin Labour Inspectorate, with the support of the Turin Provincial Carabinieri Command, was made public. It covered nine businesses in Turin and its province, with a total of 14 workers identified, some of whom were employed "off the books" [1][2].
Among the irregularities found were a missing Risk Assessment Document, a lack of training and information for workers, missing mandatory medical check-ups, and the employment of workers without a regular contract, found at a real-estate agency in Mazzè, a bar and a tobacconist's in Ivrea, a pizzeria-kebab shop and a bakery in Turin, in the Mirafiori district. These businesses were ordered to suspend operations [1][2]. In Viù, at a food and beverage establishment, the absence of a first-aid kit was noted [1][2]. At a sports centre in Susa, in Valsusa, the officers found an illegally installed video-surveillance system, a violation also found at a mini-market and another business in central Turin [1][2].
Across all the checks, fines totalling 33,943 euros were imposed and administrative penalties totalling 38,600 euros were issued. Those responsible for the businesses checked, aged between 29 and 66, were reported to the judicial authorities; the proceedings are at the preliminary investigation stage and those involved are to be presumed innocent until any final conviction [1][2].
