ESRA Technical Committee on
Occupational Safety
The prevention of occupational accidents is a very essential task for the
society. In 2000, there were 5200 fatal accidents at work in the
EU, and around 5 million accidents with more than three days of absence
from work. Occupational safety has a more than 100 years old tradition of
accident prevention, both in legislation and research.
The aim of this committee is to contribute to the exchange of experiences
between the tradition of the management of occupational safety, with
methodology of systems safety approaches. Both traditions can benefit from each
other. Occupational accidents are common, and they occur in all types of
systems and organisations. This mean a different type of challenge compared to
when the safety should be controlled in a well defined technical system and
focused on clear situations.
When different traditions can meet, there are better opportunities for the
integration of occupational safety aspects with design of production systems,
software, and the management of other types of risks and hazards. Interested
persons are very welcome to join the group.
