Development of a comprehensive training course for assessing the risk at workplace
TRIA PROJECT
|
The TRIA project responds to the sectoral need for training of employees and employers, especially those that work in small firms and/or are self-employed. It will develop a comprehensive training course dealing with the risk assessment process at workplace of different economic activity sectors and the best practices to be followed in order to improve safety and quality of work, and introducing a new approach in vocational training. The basic incentive for the development of the proposed training course is the provision of integrated, high quality, in-house training to people working in small firms that have limited or non-existing training resources, as well as harmonization of training in the area of risk assessment. Although the EU strategy that is based on consolidating a culture of risk prevention, considering training and awareness to be the most useful tools, has been adopted from the national legislation of the Member States and the Accession States, the available statistics indicate that the proactive approach has not yet been comprehended and a gap is remaining to be filled in. In EU several sectors have an accident rate that is 15-30% above the average. These numbers jump to more than 120% if the firms with between one to nine employees are considered, demonstrating the great gap in the effective implementation of the safety legislation.
