How to strengthen the visibility and use of the Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) tools was the focus of the OiRA and IRAT Community Meeting, held in Bilbao on 21–22 April 2026.
Bringing together OiRA and IRAT partners, the meeting offered an opportunity to share experiences and address common challenges in supporting micro and small enterprises (MSEs) with online risk assessment tools.
Discussions also looked at how closer cooperation and stronger promotion could help bring OiRA to more workplaces.
Reflecting this shared focus, EU-OSHA introduced new video tutorials designed to attract more users and make OiRA easier to understand and use.
The meeting sparked lively exchanges, with partners sharing ideas and drawing inspiration from one another’s national approaches.
