"This paper describes the Feedback method designed to collect the contribution of users for the reconstruction and comprehension of the actual work and real activity for the improvement of the technical standards, design, manufacturing and use of machinery. The Feedback method has since now been applied successfully - in collaboration with public authorities, market surveillance bodies, social partners organization and technical institutes - to five different types of machines: woodworking machinery, forklift trucks, angle grinder and combine harvester. After ten years of experimentation in seven European countries Feedback has proved to be trans-nationally comparable and has attracted the interest of as much as 250 expert users - mostly workers, but also employers and technicians - who have shared their knowledge and experience by taking part in almost 30 working groups. The information collected with the Feedback method can be used by: - CEN and ISO standardization committees and working groups to become aware of the problems relating to the real use of specific machines in different work contexts, and thus to be able to draw up new or to revise existing standards accordingly; - Designers and manufacturers to produce better, more comfortable and safer machines and to provide precise instructions for use; - Employers, users and workers for training purposes and for defining appropriate work procedures; - Inspection bodies to enhance their knowledge and improve the efficiency of their interventions and advice."

"Les pays adhérents vont devoir rapidement se pencher sur la question de l'application de la législation et sur le problème de la faible implication des syndicats dans la représentation des travailleurs en matière de santé et de sécurité au travail. Un cadre législatif global soutenu par des stratégies syndicales doit être mis en place. La législation actuelle doit être parachevée et accompagnée de lignes directrices et/ou codes de pratique. La même attention devrait être accordée au soutien des représentants des travailleurs, en particulier par la formation. ..."

"The accession countries will before long have to address the issue of the application of appropriate legislation and the lack of trade union involvement in worker representation in OHS. There must be comprehensive legislation supported by trade union strategies. The current legislation needs to be added to and filled out in guidelines and/or codes of practice. The same focus should be put on support for reps, especially through training. The workshop discussions on this brought input from trade unionists, labour inspectors, OHS practitioners and inspectors from insurance companies. ..."

"Lo studio, commissionato da ISPESL, ha avuto l'obiettivo di verificare ad oggi i progressi in campo della prevenzione del rischio per la salute nel lavoro interinale. L'intento fondamentale della direttiva 91/383/CEE, e delle normative nazionali di recepimento, è quello di garantire ai lavoratori temporanei (in questo caso i lavoratori interinali), lo stesso livello di protezione assicurato ai dipendenti dell'impresa utilizzatrice, per quanto concerne la tutela salute e la sicurezza impedendo ogni sorta di discriminazione di tutela per gli stessi; il fine comune è dunque quello di tutelare, nell'ambito dell'Unione Europea, il diritto alla salute dei lavoratori internali, individuati come i soggetti più vulnerabili di questo rapporto di lavoro. ..."
