Conference: Active Ageing: “From research to action oriented policies” Florence 14 March 2017
This report documents the collective output of research activities undertaken by the Institute for Employment Studies in response to a request from EU-OSHA to undertake a review of successful OSH benchmarking initiatives. The overarching aim was to review OSH benchmarking schemes that have been set up at sector, Member State or European level in order to assess the benefits that such schemes can deliver, as well as their limitations, and to identify the key factors of and main obstacles to their success.
The evolution of computer technology and Web use practices explains the development of more and more online interactive tools (“e-tools”). The occupational health and safety sector is no stranger to this trend/evolution. Many occupational health and safety actors have already shown interest in the possibilities offered by these new technologies and have over the last years developed such e-tools. These tools are mainly developed with the aim to facilitate compliance with legislation or foster a health and safety culture. This presentation is the summary of an expert workshop held in Paris on 20 October 2014 to discuss about the “e-tools” project. By end 2015 (and based on the feedback received in this workshop and others activities to be carried out throughout 2015) an implementation plan will be developed for the project, identifying the needs and the role of the Agency.
This PPT gives an overview of the OiRA project, partners, risk assessment tools and the platform that allows to develop those tools.
The presentation was given on 28 November 2013 to the Advisory Committee for Safety and Health at Work in Luxembourg

OSH in the EU
• 85% of workers satisfied with the health and safety
situation in their workplace (EB 2014), thanks to the
comprehensive legislation and policy actions
implemented by EU, Member States and social partners.
• However:
− > 4 000 workers die of accidents at work and > 3 million
workers are victims of a serious accident at work.
− 160 000 deaths annually are attributed to work-related
diseases, 95 000 of which to occupational cancer.
− Costs due to work-related sick leave, work-related
diseases and accidents are unacceptably high and put a
heavy burden on competitiveness and social security
budgets in addition to workers’ health.
