OSH EU Legislation - Shipyards
CONCLUSIONS(1)
• OSH expresses socially and economically in
•
•
terms either of number of occupational
accidents, diseases or related costs;

set of issues relevant to occupational risks
namely policy, organization, resources and
planning;
OSH legislation (ID) addresses specific risks
by setting further requirements;
OSH EU Legislation - Shipyards
CONCLUSIONS(2)
• OSH legislation requirements fulfilment can
•
be supported, in some cases, on information
provided for by dedicated Guides;
OSH legislation is focused on the assessment
and control of occupational risks associated
to work activities and addressed under a
prevention approach
