HEALTHY WORKPLACES – MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY
IN OCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFE CONDITIONS
In practice, maintenance activities are part of the daily tasks of most
workers. Inadequate maintenance work, or not taken in time, can cause
irreparable damage to the equipment, but also very serious occupational
healthy problems. Maintenance workers are exposed to many and varied
hazards in the workplace. For this reason, maintenance work must be based on
risk assessment. A series of European directives aimed at determining the
general framework of minimum requirements for the safety of workers. Thus,
the employer must ensure the safety and health of workers in all aspects of
employment. From a financial standpoint, an inadequate management of
maintenance activities is extremely costly, and may involve loss of income.
