33% reduction in accidents

An engineering company reduced reported accidents by 33% over a 12-month period. They launched a counselling service, First Aid training days, and an ongoing programme of health and safety awareness training. During the Week, they organised daily e-mails to remind everyone of the Week’s events as well as extensive poster displays, leaflet distribution, site surveys, risk assessments, training, competitions and newsletters.

“Safe Start” is the culmination of all the effort the European Agency has made in mainstreaming OSH into education since 2001. ENETOSH expresses its clear commitment to EW 2006. We are promoting “Safe Start” on our website, included the Safe Start logo in our leaflet and are calling on our partners to sign the charter. In addition we dedicated our yearly event, Training & Innovation on 7-8 July, to the Week and we will publish a trainer manual Work and Health in October 2006.
