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.

THE PREVENTION OF THE OCCUPATIONAL RISKS
ON THE APPROACH OF ERGONOMICS AND SAFETY
AND HEALTH AT WORK
Taking into account the prevention principles settled by the Framework
Directive 89/391/EEC on health and safety at work, in the context of the new
emerging risks, particularly of musculoskeletal disorders and mental illnesses,
the role of ergonomics in the design of workplaces is growing, contributing of
the improvement of the welfare at work. Ergonomics aims at adapting the work
to humans. The concept of proactive ergonomics deals with the need to adopt
measures to prevent occupational risks still in design stage. The classic
approach of the risk prevention must be updated by an ergonomic one having
in view the need to avoid the workplace accidents and occupational diseases.

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.
