Improving occupational safety and health in SMEs:examples of effective assistance

SMEs are important contributors to European competitiveness, with most new jobs in Europe being created by micro-enterprises with up to six employees. However, they also face particular difficulties including effective management of safety and health and Member States have set up measures to assist entrepreneurship. The Agency has made a study of practical examples of successful occupational safety and health assistance services to SMEs. Different types of schemes or assistance programmes from the Member States were analysed in order to: 

  • present a number of examples of prevention programmes for SMEs;
  • identify success criteria and provide transferable information that other organisations can use or adapt to their situation.
