Abstract This document was prepared following a social dialogue on the prevention of occupational hazards initiated in Spain during 2002, which highlighted the need to improve the taking into account of hazard prevention in the management systems of enterprises. It is aimed at helping enterprise managers and all persons concerned in developing awareness of the crucial nature of integration in determining the efficiency of preventive actions and in identifying the elements or the areas where such integration should be considered as a priority within the enterprise. Contents: objectives; current model of hazard prevention; integration of prevention and role of occupational safety and health services; various elements to be considered for the integration of preventive measures (enterprise management, change management, maintenance, overhauls and checks of potentially-dangerous installations and equipment, implementation and supervision of potentially-dangerous tasks); final considerations.
