Tactile road markings 30.03.2006

Tactile road markings

Guide Dogs for the Blind consulted with its 70 staff for ideas to reduce accidents in the workplace and to reduce absenteeism. They held a fire drill, and acted on the risks identified, and introduced tactile road markings to help clients safely cross the road without bumping into lamp-posts and other street furniture. They also reviewed all outdoor and indoor hazards and refined procedures.

"European Weeks have turned into a real trademark. In Austria much is being done. Seventeen labour inspectorates realised projects with partner schools, and the outcomes will be presented in October during a conference in Vienna. We also issued a special ‘Safe Start’ postage stamp on the day of the launch.
I am convinced that this European Week will contribute to a further improvement of health and safety at work, and I wish everyone great success."
