REDUCING THE RISK of occupational exposure

摘要

With occupational safety becoming an increasing concern, Neal Hill of Casella discusses how technology can help reduce risk. According to a series of recent surveys occupational health is finally becoming as much a cause for concern as workplace safety. The approach to it is changing all over the world with an increasing number of businesses shifting from a reactive attitude to a conscious management of operational issues and a whole raft of surveys have appeared to prove it. One of the most recent was an international survey conducted by DNV GL Business Assurance and research institute GFK Eurisko which consulted almost 4,000 professionals from businesses in different industries in Europe, the Americas and Asia on attitudes to health and safety management. Perhaps one of the most interesting findings was the suggestion that a more proactive approach is being adopted across the board.
