WEB BASED TRAINING TOOLS FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY

Health and safety at work is one of the areas where the EU has had the biggest impact – with a solid legal framework covering the maximum number of risks with the minimum number of regulations. Health and safety at work is now one of the most important and most advanced areas of EU social policy. As reported in the mid-term review of the current strategy (2007-12, recently released by the Commission (SEC(2011) 547), occupational hazards are still relatively high for certain categories of workers (young, older, migrant workers, workers with insecure jobs), for certain types of companies (SME enterprises are particularly exposed, accounting for 82% of all occupational injuries and 90% of all fatal accidents), and for certain sectors, as healthcare and welfare services. In this context, the information and training of workers are universally recognized as effective measures to improve workplace health and safety. Within the project "H & S - Training Programme for Health and Safety in the cleaning industry", funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme in 2010, COCETA, Oltremodo, Inforcoop, APSHTDC and ANJAF collaborated to the implementation and the transfer of tools and methodologies easy to use and useful to ensure safety at work in the field of civil and industrial cleaning.
