Jeder Arbeitsplatz erfordert Reinigungsarbeiten. Die
Reinigungsbranche ist ein wachsender Sektor, da es sich um eine
Dienstleistung handelt, die zunehmend fremdvergeben wird. Es
gibt zwar einige sehr große Reinigungsdienstleister, vorwiegend
sind in dieser Branche jedoch kleine Unternehmen tätig, die
häufig weniger als zehn Mitarbeiter beschäftigen.
Bei der Reinigung handelt es sich um eine wichtige Tätigkeit, die
bei ihrer ordnungsgemäßen Ausführung sowohl die Risiken für
die Sicherheit und die Gesundheit der Arbeitnehmer verringern
als auch dem Unternehmen Kosten ersparen kann, indem zum
Beispiel die Lebensdauer von Arbeitsmitteln und Mobiliar am
Arbeitsplatz verlängert wird und die Oberflächen von Böden in
gutem Zustand erhalten werden. In einigen Branchen wie der
Lebensmittelbranche und dem Gastgewerbe kann eine
unzureichende Reinigung zum Scheitern des Geschäfts führen.
Safe and healthy workplaces help businesses and organisations to succeed and prosper and also benefit wider society. This guide gives business leaders practical information on how safety and health can be improved through effective leadership, worker involvement and ongoing assessment and review, making businesses and organisations safe and healthy for everyone. A diagnostic check gives an idea of the level of prevention in a company and provides ideas for improvement.
One conclusion from the EU-OSHA economic incentives project is that incentives schemes should not only reward past results of good OSH management (such as accident numbers in experience rating), but should also reward specific prevention efforts that aim to reduce future accidents and ill-health. Experts from the economic incentives project therefore suggested the development of compilations of innovative and evidence-based preventive solutions, starting with the three sectors construction, health care and HORECA (hotels, restaurants, catering). The preventive measures from these compilations are worth promoting in their own right, as well as being applied in economic incentives schemes. These preventive solutions can be used as a basis for incentive-providing organisations to develop their own incentive scheme, adapted to the specific situation in their sector and country.
This Guide on Economic Incentives Schemes is intended to serve as a practical and user-friendly guide to help incentive providers to create or optimise their own economic incentive schemes. Incentives schemes should not only reward past results of good OSH management (such as low accident numbers), but should also reward specific prevention efforts that aim to reduce future accidents and ill-health. Therefore the expert group suggested the development of compilations of innovative and evidence-based preventive solutions, starting with the three sectors construction, health care and HORECA.
