ISO 14001 certification for the polygon of the Salto di Quirra

27/01/16

After the ARPA Sardinia, the ASL, the zooprofilattico institute and the Istituto Superiore di Sanità have repeatedly declared, after years of studies, analysis and core sampling, that the affected areas of the Salto di Quirra range in Sardinia are safe , normally and not having an impact on the environment and people, we now add the important European ISO 14001 certification on the environmental management system of the military shooting range.

This shows that the industrial processes related to the polygon activity do not have repercussions in the environment and therefore the procedures and protocols of the polygon are safe and in order with the European standards required for the assistance and logistic technical support for training, all the use of complex weapons and weapon systems in the air, land and naval sectors as well as for assistance and support activities for research, development and experimentation in the industrial and military field.

The Central Council of the Representation of the Air Force military personnel expresses satisfaction because this further addition finally dispels rumors and doubts about health and the environment, considering that in the polygon our colleagues constantly work and work with families. We are convinced that this represents a great step forward in protecting the environment and health linked to military activities and that our colleagues, today more than ever, will continue to work and live in healthy and safe environments.
