Survey by PRIMAet

Psychosocial risks have been identified at the European and national level as a concern for both employers and workers. Research conducted at the European level through the PRIMA-EF project clearly identifies the need for training and skills development for the prevention and management of psychosocial risks at work. The PRIMAeT project, funded by the EC Leonardo da Vinci programme, aims at the development of a training programme on psychosocial risk management with a special focus on prevention at the workplace level. Key issues to be addressed through this training programme will include work-related stress, violence, harassment and bullying.
As a key stakeholder, PRIMAet invites experts to participate in this survey to help identify the available training for psychosocial risk management provided by different stakeholders across the EU.

New accident prevention campaign

The German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) started this campaign in January 2010.
Every year, 230.000 accidents occur during transport and traffic within plants, 150 of them are fatal. In addition, 23.000 accidents occur on public roads during business journeys (170 of them fatal) and 175.000 accidents occur involving schoolchildren on public roads. In 2008, more than 500 insurants lost their lives due to one of these casualties.
The campaign "Fight the risk" aims at prevention and reduction of these accidents. A website is online now, offering information for employers, employees, pupils and teachers, links, videoclips and personalized E- Cards including a short prevention clip that can be sent to friends. A multimedia quiz will follow.

BGAG Report 1/2009

The Institute Work and Health (BGAG) of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) has released a new report: "Measures for prevention of school violence: Stock taking of programmes in the German-speaking area".
The abstract of this brochure says: "Every time traumatic events such as running amok come out a topic in public is school violence. After the first horror-struck reaction and speechlessness constantly the question of how to prevent school violence is raised in press and politics. At the same time it often is not taken into account that there already is a whole series of prevention programmes. In part these programmes even have been evaluated as effectively". The brochure was developed in order to facilitate the overview on a great number of programmes for the persons responsible, the schools and interested parties. It systematically lists a large part of German-speaking programmes. The brochure can be downloaded in PDF format from the IAG website.
involvement in injury prevention - Seminar results

Delegates from across Europe attended the first international seminar looking into young people’s involvement in injury prevention.
The three-day event, which was hosted by CSEC and AdRisk (the Community Action on Adolescents and Injury Risk project, a European initiative) and held at the headquarters of RoSPA in Birmingham, proved a major success.
There were inspiring examples of work from around the continent, including presentations from young people who are involved in injury prevention in the UK, and lively workshop sessions during which delegates sought to define “high quality practical safety education” and “risk competence”.

Conducted by The Institute for Work & Health, CA

This review was conducted to find out whether OHS training has a beneficial effect on workers and firms, and whether higher engagement OHS training is more beneficial than lower engagement OHS training. The systematic review team consisted of 16 researchers from the United States and Canada. The review team searched 10 electronic databases for studies of randomized controlled trials published on OHS education or training between 1996-2007. An initial 6,469 articles were identified and reviewed for relevance.
