| Abstract |
A strategy is proposed by the Dutch Directorate-General of Labour for an improvement of working conditions in the metal products industry. After a short survey of the health and safety problems in the industry, the proposed strategy is presented under three headings: self-initiated activity (stimulating employers and employees to accept responsibility within the framework of the Working Environment Act); source management (promoting the use of worker-friendly machines and materials, promoting optimal work-station layout, and promoting the use of safe methods of work); maintaining standards (monitoring compliance with legislative provisions through the activities of the Labour Inspectorate and when necessary enforcing compliance). |
