Outils pratiques et orientations concernant les substances dangereuses
Un certain nombre d’outils et de documents d’orientation ont été mis au point par les États membres, les institutions européennes, les associations d’entreprises, les partenaires sociaux et d’autres acteurs pour aider les entreprises à effectuer des analyses de risque complètes et efficaces. Ces outils illustrent une grande variété d’approches destinées à gérer efficacement les substances dangereuses. Ils couvrent souvent des opérations de travail spécifiques, telles que le remplissage ou le pompage de liquides, ou les procédés de soudure. D’autres sources donnent un aperçu complet de certains groupes de substances, comme les substances sensibilisantes, ou mettent en avant les risques typiques dans certains secteurs.
En outre, en plus de contribuer à une évaluation des risque de haute qualité, la plupart de ces outils proposent de bonnes pratiques, expliquant comment réduire les risques dans des contextes professionnels courants comportant une exposition aux substances dangereuses. Il existe également des outils destiné à aider des acteurs spécifiques, comme les inspecteurs du travail, les petites et moyennes entreprises et les représentants des travailleurs, pour ne citer qu’eux. Il vaut donc vraiment la peine d’explorer le site pour découvrir l’aide à votre disposition.
