Product description
The web-guide is an e-learning tool consisting of 39 slides with written information, seven animations, eight videos with interviews with Inspectors in the Labour Inspection Authority, and a “tool box” with relevant links pertaining to the different themes in the guide. 1. Organising the health and safety work in the enterprises Information on different roles, responsibilities and activities concerning health and safety: the overall responsibility of the employer, the importance of worker participation, the role of health and safety representatives and support from health and safety specialists. This part also stresses the importance of health and safety training and using risk assessments to maintain a systematic approach to health and safety. 2. Risk assessments This part gives an introduction to risk assessments, what the purpose is and why it is necessary that the employees also take part in this. It also highlights certain areas where the health and safety legislation has special requirements regarding risk assessments, e.g. working with chemicals or dangerous work equipment. Another section explains how the risk assessments must be followed by a plan for managing the risks in the enterprise. This part also has a section about young workers and why employers shall do special risk assessments concerning workers under the age of 18. 3. Safe work This part highlights what is most important in order to create safe work places and working safely. It has information on general requirements concerning the arrangement and equipment of the workplace which apply to all workplaces, and on special requirements which apply to some workplaces with certain risks, such as chemical and biological hazards. 4. The Working Environment legislation The three other parts mention requirements concerning the working environment, but specific regulations or links to sections in the Working Environment Act are not mentioned. Instead this fourth part in the web-guide gives an overview of all the legislation concerning OSH. This part lists the most important requirements in the Working Environment Act and in the six main regulations concerning health and safety. One example explains how the regulations are structured, but there are no links to the actual regulations. Toolbox At the end of the web-guide there is an overview of relevant links to pages on the Labour Inspections website. They link to thematic pages where the users can find more elaborate information on the themes covered in the guide. You also find links to relevant laws and regulations.
