| Abstract |
After some figures illustrating the problem of promotion and control of safety in small undertakings in Belgium, the reasons for the lack of satisfactory safety measures are reviewed: buildings frequently inadequate, personnel selected according to criteria having no relation to the work, personality of the employer, lack of a prevention service, infrequent inspection. Other particularities were the multiplicity of accident causes and very close human contact. Preventive efforts in small enterprises should be directed towards safety training and improvement of the work environment. Employers have to be convinced that safety is a source of savings in the long run. General application of material damage control and dialogue with workers' trade unions offer encouraging perspectives. |
