Practical Solutions

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work monitors, collects and analyses scientific findings, statistical information and prevention measures. It also supports the exchange and sharing of information. If you are involved in workplace health and safety, you can use this section to find practical information, guidelines and case studies to help solve a variety of problems.

Good practice that has been implemented successfully in one workplace can be adapted and used elsewhere. However, before good practice information is applied, an assessment of the hazards and risks present in the workplace should be carried out, making reference to relevant national legislation.

While EU-OSHA is not responsible for the content of external internet sites to which it links, we aim to ensure that we only link to good practice information that is reliable and meets identified criteria for prevention. These include following: the 'prevention hierarchy' set out in EU legislation, which includes starting with prevention at source and prioritising collective measures over individual ones and; ensuring the participation of workers.

More detailed information on good practice collection, evaluation and dissemination can be found in our Good Practice Information provided by EU-OSHA.
