Šis rīks ir paredzēts poligrāfijas uzņēmumiem. Šo uzņēmumu darba vietās ir raksturīgi dažādi darba vides riska faktori – putekļi, troksnis, darbs ar ķīmiskām vielām, ugunsbīstamība, smagu priekšmetu pārvietošana, ilgstoša atrašanās vienā un tajā pašā pozā, laika trūkums, saspringti darba termiņi, garas darba stundas u.c. Sāciet ar riska faktoru identificēšanu un novērtēšanu, tad izvēlieties piemērotākos preventīvos pasākumus, kas samazinās vai izskaudīs riskus. Neaizmirstiet īstenot atlasītos pasākumus! Rīkā ir iekļauti ne tikai padomi par ķīmisko vielu iedarbības samazināšanu, ergonomiku, ugunsdrošību un trokšņa līmeņa samazināšanu, bet arī par veselības veicināšanu darba vietās.
