December 2018: What’s new in health and safety at work standardization?

During working hours, it's not unusual to have private conversations. But what happens if an accident occurs during these exchanges? Are employees covered by insurance? It depends, as the following examples show.

A new report from Afa Försäkring lists 196 fatal accidents at work between 2013 and 2023, 80% of them in the private sector. In 2023 there will be 24 more fatalities than in the previous year.

The “Institut maritime de prévention” (IMP), supported by the  CNPMEM (maritime fisheries and marine farming Committee), has launched an interactive video on safety at work on board fishing vessels. It is aimed at professional sailors, teachers and students at maritime schools, and all those involved in risk prevention in the maritime environment.
