Faktablad 100 – Europæiske strategier og eksempler på god praksis i tilknytning til legionella og legionærsyge
Legionærsyge opfattes normalt som et folkesundhedsproblem snarere end som et arbejdsmiljøanliggende, selv om den ofte rammer arbejdstagere på steder med høj risiko for udbrud (hvilket omfatter lokaler, hvor der findes forstøvningsmaskiner, tandlægekirurgi, offshore olie- og gasanlæg, bilvaskeanlæg, sundhedsfaciliteter, spabade og hoteller). Dette faktablad sammenfatter de arbejdsmiljømæssige aspekter af udsættelse for legionella. Det bygger på en oversigt over europæiske strategier i relation til legionella og legionærsyge og på casestudier af, hvordan risikoen for legionella holdes under kontrol.

This Magazine is part of the resources produced to support the European Campaign on Safe Maintenance. The articles in the Magazine demonstrate the wide range of maintenance related issues that have an impact on maintenance safety and more generally on safety and health at work. These include, among others, maintenance organisation, maintenance planning, risk assessment, human behaviour, chemical safety, design, subcontracting maintenance, communication and training, and inspection of personal protective equipment.
Agricultural workers suffer 1.7 times the average rate of non-fatal occupational accidents and 3 times the rate of fatal accidents, making the sector particularly hazardous. This guide describes the main hazards and risks associated with maintenance activities in agriculture and the most common causes of accidents and ill health. The guide also provides advice on risk management, examples of good practice in accident prevention and policies and campaigns at national level. Finally, it includes examples of checklists for safe maintenance in agriculture.
In 2009 and 2010, the Agency commissioned an update to its previous research on gender issues at work , which found that inequality both inside and outside the workplace can have an effect on the health and safety of women at work. This summary provides a policy perspective and is meant to contribute to the task outlined by the European strategy on health and safety at work for EU-OSHA’s European Risk Observatory, “examining the specific challenges in terms of health and safety posed by the more extensive integration of women in the labour market”. It provides a statistical overview of the trends in employment and working conditions, hazard exposure and work-related accidents and health problems for women at work. It explores selected issues (combined exposures, occupational cancer, access to rehabilitation, women and informal work, and “emerging” female professions such as home care and domestic work). The research highlights the type of work carried out by women, issues faced by younger and older women, the growth of the service sector, violence and harassment, and increasingly diversified working time patterns as major risk factors.
