EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS ON THE PREVENTION
OF THE WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS IN SMALL
AND MEDIUM SIZED ENTERPRISES
Occupational Health and Safety represents today one of the most
advanced field of the social policy of the European Union, due to the priority
allowed to the risk at work prevention in all Member States. A safe and healthy
working environment is an essential element of the quality of work. The
European Commission enlarged the aim of its activities in favor of information,
guidance and promotion of a healthy working environment, by paying particular
attention to small and medium sized enterprises. The new Strategy on health
and safety at work for 2007-2012 proposes to step up the EU ambition and to
aim for a 25 % reduction in the total incidence rate of accidents at work by 2012
in EU-27, by improving health and safety protection for workers.
