"La problématique de souffrance relationnelle au travail préoccupe les acteurs du monde du travail et du monde académique depuis de nombreuses années. Les médias et les décideurs politiques ont manifesté leur inquiétude quant à la présence de phénomènes comme le conflit extrême, le harcèlement moral, le harcèlement sexuel ou la violence au travail.
C'est dans cette optique que le Service Public Fédéral Emploi, Travail et Concertation sociale a développé, avec le soutien du Fonds social européen, un vaste programme de recherche-action sur la charge psychosociale au travail. Ce guide a été réalisé par le Service de Psychologie Sociale des Groupes et des Organisations de l'Université de Liège et ISW Limits de Louvain.
Il est le fruit de ce programme de recherche-action au cours duquel différentes démarches méthodologiques ont été réalisées. Le premier chapitre est consacré aux concepts et phénomènes et aux différentes phases dans l'évolution d'un conflit. Ensuite, la prévention de ces problématiques est abordée, ainsi que 4 grandes méthodes d'intervention. En guise de conclusion, des "bonnes pratiques transversales" font l'objet d'un chapitre spécifique. La brochure termine avec une bibliographie et une série d'annexes utiles."

"The WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual (LBM) has been in broad use at all levels of clinical and public health laboratories, and other biomedical sectors globally, serving as a de facto global standard that presents best practices and sets trends in biosafety.
LBM encouraged countries to accept and implement basic concepts in biological safety and to develop national codes of practice for the safe handling of biological agents in laboratories within their geographical borders.
This fourth edition of the manual builds on the risk assessment framework introduced in the third edition. A thorough, evidence-based and transparent assessment of the risks allows safety measures to be balanced with the actual risk of working with biological agents on a case-by-case basis.
This novel evidence- and risk-based approach will allow optimised resource use and sustainable laboratory biosafety and biosecurity policies and practices that are relevant to their individual circumstances and priorities, enabling equitable access to clinical and public health laboratory tests and biomedical research opportunities without compromising safety."

"Don't bin your back, a joint GMB/SITA project, has completed a comprehensive analysis of manual handling and back pain issues in the waste management industry and has devised detailed health and safety advice and guidance, including a video, for refuse collection work. GMB says HSE has no industry specific guidance for the thousands of people working in waste collection. All of these materials are available to buy, and are free to GMB safety representatives from GMB regional health and safety officers. The project was funded by the Department of Health, as part the Healthy Workplaces initiative."

"Hundreds of thousands of workers' health and safety reps are active in workplaces across the EU. Since the 1989 Framework Directive passed into law, employers have had a duty to carry out risk assessments, and workers' reps must be involved in them in ways which vary widely between countries and, indeed, companies.
Risk assessment is a new idea for many countries. As yet, there is no real European model for it. This guide forms part of a trade union strategy on risk assessment. It stems from the fact that consultation of workers' reps remains a legal requirement rarely put into practice. When it does take place, it is treated as a technical exercise carried out by experts, which makes no allowance for feedback from workers' own experiences. In some cases, it is just a paper formality.
The TUTB has consistently argued that more real involvement by workers in prevention activities is essential if Community Directives to improve the working environment are to have practical effect. This guide has been designed as a work tool to help workers' health and safety reps of all kinds to assess working conditions on the shopfloor. "
