Nota do editor: este artigo aborda a campanha \u201cShattered Lives\u201d da HSE, lan\u00e7ada em fevereiro de 2010. Os n\u00fameros referidos s\u00e3o estimativas da HSE da altura.<\/em><\/p>\n

De acordo com a HSE<\/h3>\n

A Health and Safety Executive (HSE) \u00e9 a entidade reguladora nacional brit\u00e2nica respons\u00e1vel pela sa\u00fade e seguran\u00e7a no local de trabalho. Tem como objetivo prevenir mortes, les\u00f5es e problemas de sa\u00fade entre os trabalhadores e as pessoas afetadas pelas atividades laborais. Os incidentes de escorregadelas, trope\u00e7\u00f5es e quedas no local de trabalho custaram a vida a 40 trabalhadores no ano passado e representam um custo estimado de 800 milh\u00f5es de libras por ano para a sociedade, alertou hoje a Autoridade para a Sa\u00fade e Seguran\u00e7a no Trabalho (HSE) ao lan\u00e7ar uma campanha contundente.<\/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

Para al\u00e9m do tr\u00e1gico custo humano, os escorreg\u00f5es, trope\u00e7\u00f5es e quedas evit\u00e1veis est\u00e3o a ter um grave impacto financeiro no Reino Unido. A HSE estima que os custos financeiros combinados suportados pela sociedade no seu conjunto rondem os 800 milh\u00f5es de libras por ano, numa altura em que tanto as empresas como os particulares enfrentam dificuldades financeiras devido \u00e0 atual recess\u00e3o.<\/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

A campanha destina-se aos setores em que se regista um elevado n\u00famero de incidentes de escorregadelas, trope\u00e7\u00f5es e quedas todos os anos, nomeadamente os setores da sa\u00fade e da assist\u00eancia social, da educa\u00e7\u00e3o, da ind\u00fastria alimentar, do retalho alimentar, da restaura\u00e7\u00e3o e hotelaria, da manuten\u00e7\u00e3o de edif\u00edcios e instala\u00e7\u00f5es e da constru\u00e7\u00e3o civil.<\/p>\n

No novo site da campanha, as pessoas poder\u00e3o obter informa\u00e7\u00f5es sobre como podem, de forma f\u00e1cil e econ\u00f3mica, reduzir o risco de escorregadelas, trope\u00e7\u00f5es e quedas no local de trabalho, bem como ver o que outras organiza\u00e7\u00f5es, como a Sainsbury\u2019s e a First Line Digital, t\u00eam feito. O site inclui uma ferramenta online (STEP) e um conjunto de recursos sobre equipamentos de acesso para trabalhos em altura (WAIT). Os conselhos v\u00e3o desde como lidar com derrames e outros riscos de escorregadelas at\u00e9 \u00e0 import\u00e2ncia de utilizar escadas corretamente para reduzir o risco de quedas de 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":"
