The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) is planning to launch in the forthcoming weeks a low value negotiated procedure for the development of the content of a generic EU OiRA tool.

In order to help micro and small companies to overcome some of the challenges they face as far as assessing their risks is concerned, EU-OSHA has developed the OiRA project. The main goals of the OiRA project are the following:

• To contribute to the development of simple tools to facilitate risk assessment and to facilitate compliance with OSH legislation by providing financial and technical support on implementing OiRA and other IT-based tools in Member States, focusing on priority sectors (EU Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2014-2020)
• To develop and promote practical tools to help micro and small companies to put in place the RA process
• To help demystify the RA process among micro and small enterprises (MSEs).
