Fiche d’information 100 – Politiques européennes et exemples de bonnes pratiques relatifs à Legionella et à la légionellose
La légionellose est généralement perçue comme un problème de santé publique, et non pas comme un problème de santé lié au lieu de travail, bien qu’elle touche souvent des ouvriers travaillant sur des lieux à hauts risques d’épidémie (notamment des salles équipées de brumisateurs, des cabinets dentaires, des installations pétrolières et gazières offshore, des stations de lavage, des établissements de soins, des stations thermales et des hôtels). Cette fiche d’information résume les aspects professionnels de l’exposition à Legionella. Elle est basée sur un aperçu des politiques européennes relatives à Legionella et à la légionellose ainsi que sur des études de cas sur les modalités de contrôle des risques de Legionella.

This Magazine is part of the resources produced to support the European Campaign on Safe Maintenance. The articles in the Magazine demonstrate the wide range of maintenance related issues that have an impact on maintenance safety and more generally on safety and health at work. These include, among others, maintenance organisation, maintenance planning, risk assessment, human behaviour, chemical safety, design, subcontracting maintenance, communication and training, and inspection of personal protective equipment.
Agricultural workers suffer 1.7 times the average rate of non-fatal occupational accidents and 3 times the rate of fatal accidents, making the sector particularly hazardous. This guide describes the main hazards and risks associated with maintenance activities in agriculture and the most common causes of accidents and ill health. The guide also provides advice on risk management, examples of good practice in accident prevention and policies and campaigns at national level. Finally, it includes examples of checklists for safe maintenance in agriculture.
In 2009 and 2010, the Agency commissioned an update to its previous research on gender issues at work , which found that inequality both inside and outside the workplace can have an effect on the health and safety of women at work. This summary provides a policy perspective and is meant to contribute to the task outlined by the European strategy on health and safety at work for EU-OSHA’s European Risk Observatory, “examining the specific challenges in terms of health and safety posed by the more extensive integration of women in the labour market”. It provides a statistical overview of the trends in employment and working conditions, hazard exposure and work-related accidents and health problems for women at work. It explores selected issues (combined exposures, occupational cancer, access to rehabilitation, women and informal work, and “emerging” female professions such as home care and domestic work). The research highlights the type of work carried out by women, issues faced by younger and older women, the growth of the service sector, violence and harassment, and increasingly diversified working time patterns as major risk factors.
