THE RISK ASSESSMENT

 

The Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008, commonly known as the 'Consolidated Law on Occupational Health and Safety' or ‘Testo unico in materia di salute e sicurezza sul lavoro’, defines the non-transferable obligations of employers in Article 17. One of these obligations is to conduct a risk assessment of all potential hazards and prepare a Risk Assessment Document.

 

Article 28 outlines the specific features that this document needs to include:

 

  • The risk assessment should focus on the selection of work equipment, ensuring that it is safe and appropriate for the employees' job requirements (refer to articles 70-71 of Legislative Decree 81/2008).

 

  • All risks to safety and health during work activities must be evaluated.

 

  • The document should provide information on the prevention and protection measures implemented, as well as the personal protective equipment being used.

 

  • It is important to establish and plan measures aimed at continually improving safety levels and managing this program effectively.

 

  • Procedures for implementing the identified measures should be identified, and the roles within the organization responsible for carrying them out should be assigned to qualified individuals.

 

Our consultancy

THE MANUAL HANDLING OF LOADS

 

The term 'manual handling of loads' refers to the tasks involved in transporting or supporting a load by one or more workers. These tasks include lifting, setting down, pushing, pulling, carrying, or moving a load that, due to its characteristics or unfavorable ergonomic conditions, carries the risk of biomechanical overload-related pathologies, particularly in the back-lumbar and musculoskeletal areas, among others.

 

The obligation to assess the risk associated with manual handling of loads is governed by Articles 167, 168, 169, and 170 of Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008. Additionally, the attached document will assist employers in fulfilling their obligations outlined in Annex XXXIII of Legislative Decree 81/2008, along with a series of specific technical standards from UNI EN ISO 11228.

  • Evaluate the risk of potentially explosive atmospheres in the workplace.
  • Classify areas where explosive atmospheres can form into zones (refer to Attachment XLIX of Legislative Decree 81/2008).
  • Develop and regularly update the explosion protection document.
  • Determine the minimum requirements to comply with (refer to Attachment L of Legislative Decree 81/2008).
