Nota del editor: este art\u00edculo trata sobre la campa\u00f1a \u201cShattered Lives\u201d de la HSE, puesta en marcha en febrero de 2010. Las cifras citadas son estimaciones de la HSE de aquella \u00e9poca.<\/em><\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan la HSE<\/h3>\n

La Agencia Ejecutiva de Salud y Seguridad (HSE) es el organismo regulador nacional brit\u00e1nico en materia de salud y seguridad en el trabajo. Su labor consiste en prevenir las muertes, las lesiones y los problemas de salud entre los trabajadores y las personas afectadas por las actividades laborales. Los accidentes por resbalones, tropiezos y ca\u00eddas en el lugar de trabajo se cobraron la vida de 40 trabajadores el a\u00f1o pasado y suponen un coste estimado de 800 millones de libras esterlinas al a\u00f1o para la sociedad, seg\u00fan ha advertido hoy la Agencia Ejecutiva de Salud y Seguridad (HSE) al lanzar una contundente campa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

H<\/span>SE figures show that slips and trips are the most common cause of major workplace injury in Britain. More workplace deaths are triggered by falls from height than any other cause, according to official statistics. In addition to 40 fatalities, there were over 15,000 major injuries to workers, as well as over 30,000 workers having to take over three days off work.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s del tr\u00e1gico coste humano, los resbalones, tropiezos y ca\u00eddas evitables est\u00e1n teniendo graves repercusiones econ\u00f3micas en el Reino Unido. La HSE estima que los costes econ\u00f3micos totales en que incurre la sociedad en su conjunto rondan los 800 millones de libras al a\u00f1o, en un momento en el que tanto las empresas como los particulares atraviesan dificultades econ\u00f3micas debido a la actual recesi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

In response, HSE is launching a new phase of its Shattered Lives campaign, aimed at reducing slips, trips and falls in the workplace. The hard hitting campaign involves raising awareness of the impact of slips, trips and falls in the workplace and direct people to the new Shattered Lives website (www.hse.gov. uk\/shatteredlives) for practical advice and guidance.<\/p>\n

La campa\u00f1a est\u00e1 dirigida a aquellos sectores en los que se produce un elevado n\u00famero de resbalones, tropiezos y ca\u00eddas cada a\u00f1o, concretamente: la asistencia sanitaria y social, la educaci\u00f3n, la industria alimentaria, el comercio minorista de alimentaci\u00f3n, la restauraci\u00f3n y la hosteler\u00eda, el mantenimiento de edificios e instalaciones, y la construcci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

En la nueva p\u00e1gina web de la campa\u00f1a, los usuarios podr\u00e1n encontrar informaci\u00f3n sobre c\u00f3mo reducir de forma sencilla y econ\u00f3mica el riesgo de resbalones, tropiezos y ca\u00eddas en el lugar de trabajo, as\u00ed como conocer las medidas que han adoptado otras organizaciones, como Sainsbury\u2019s y First Line Digital. La p\u00e1gina incluye una herramienta en l\u00ednea (STEP) y un conjunto de recursos sobre equipos de acceso para trabajos en altura (WAIT). Los consejos abarcan desde c\u00f3mo actuar ante derrames y otros riesgos de resbalones hasta la importancia de utilizar correctamente las escaleras para reducir el riesgo de ca\u00eddas desde altura.<\/p>\n

Peter Brown, Head of the HSE\u2019s Work and Environment Division, said: \u201cThese figures highlight the very real and serious nature of preventable slip, trip and fall incidents in the workplace. Slips, trips and falls might sound funny but they shatter the lives of thousands of British workers ever year. \u201cMaking improvements doesn\u2019t need to cost the earth and we are encouraging people to visit the Shattered Lives website, where they will be able to get simple and cost effective<\/p>\n

solutions to help manage slips, trips and falls hazards in their workplace.\u201d Brendan Barber, TUC General Secretary, said: \u201cEvery one of the 40 deaths caused by slips, trips and falls preventable. The key is proper risk assessment and control measures as highlighted by the HSE. Unions will warmly welcome this practical hard-hitting campaign and will be raising the issue with employers wherever and wherever they can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
