Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology can be used in different areas such as in occupational safety and health. This article discusses the development of the RFID technology and its legal implications in the context of the Italian law. This is one of the most advanced European Union law when legal framework for RFID systems is considered. The paper will also face the important problem of the workplaces security. When implementing certain types of systems the workplaces security can be a critical issue to be addressed. In these systems the workplace security laws can affect the RFID legal framework application. Provisions of data protection can be weakened in order to fully apply workplace security laws. The article will conclude with useful legal guidelines that must be followed when implementing an RFID system for applications with workplaces security issues.
