New trends in accident prevention due to the changing world of work
book
Changes in the world of work can give rise to new risk areas or they can change the way that occupational safety and health needs to be managed. This has implications for workplaces themselves and also for the occupational safety and health system. For this reason the 'changing world of work' has been a priority topic for the Agency. The European Week on Safety and Health at Work 2001 focused on accident prevention. This research information report reviews new trends in accident prevention due to the 'changing world of work' and needs for future research in this area. It is based on expert viewpoints and current scientific literature. The Agency's Topic Centre on Research - Work and Health, a consortium of European research institutions, produced the report. The Dutch TNO Work and Employment coordinated the work. A workshop of experts was used to provide input into the report. Also the conclusions and statements based on this report were discussed during the closing event of the European Week 2001 in November 2001.
