"Performing serious and continuous Risk Assessment is the only way to make the workplace safer. It is the basis for any OHS management and action plan in general and for correct selection and use of PPE in particular. This is common sense, not just a legal obligation."
Henk Vanhoutte, Secretary General
During 2009: Various activities organised by national network members. These activities include seminars for companies, training courses for sales people of PPE, activities during the (local) safety exhibitions, etc.
