Safety stall 04.03.2008

— filed under:

A trade union agreed with hospital managers that they could run a health and safety stall during the Week using materials from the trade union HQ and from the national health and safety authority. They produced leaflets to get staff to report all incidents of violence to staff. Safety representatives organised a rota to have someone available to answer questions and hand out information, and advertised beforehand by putting up posters. The stall was a double success because its position in the foyer meant that it was accessible to members of the public as well as staff.

"Risk assessment has 2 main benefits: first, it enables the workers to assess the critical situations related to their professional activities and second, it contributes to develop a safety culture within a company and therefore prudent attitudes. This is even more important when the companies are very innovative and deal with new or emerging risks."

Aleksandar Jovanovic, CEO
