Objective: To describe the approaches the health risks has been dealt with for selected risk factors and groups of workers at increased risk; to identify the most relevant determinants affecting risk perception and the attitude towards controlling and dealing with the risk factors; to describe the policy, activities and performance of the OH system and occupational health professionals related to the exposures and risk levels prevailing in the selected workplaces; and to make a comparative analysis of the above, especially in identifying the extent to which practices in the participating countries are in compliance with the European Union regulations related to health and safety at work, and to identify the respective needs. Project activities The study will comprise: 1) a document based survey of the OH system, regulations and activities, 2) a structured interview of stakeholders' views and aspirations on occupational health and safety, and 3) OHS audits at workplaces in selected industries (lead in battery and ceramic industry, asbestos in asbestos industry and demolition works, benzene in petrochemical industry, and noise in textile industry) with a specific reference to a vulnerable group of workers, i.e. pregnant women. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Czech Republic will perform all study phases and Finland, Belgium and Italy only study phase 1. Preliminary Results indicate that the goals are shared in participating countries, but great variation exists in OH system structure, functions and resources available for the control and management of health hazards. Expected achievements After completing the study in April 2001 we wish to have better understanding of the different approaches, practices and development lines in OH in target countries. It is hoped the study will help the social partners to focus actions and resources more precisely to improve the quality and effectiveness of the OH service. |
