This tool is intended for companies in the private and public sector to support them in conductiong their occupational safety and health risk assessment. A broad variety of risks is addressed including ergonimic risks due to prolonged sittings, aspects related to lighting and working with a screen and much more.

This tool is intended mainly for small and micro-employers to assess the risk in the production of plants in the nursery or greenhouse as well as outdoors. A broad range of hazards is addressed including the falls from height, chemical hazards when using pesticides, biological hazards when working in the field or outside the nursery, unfavorable climatic conditions, as well as ergonomic risks due to uncomfortable positions or manual handling of loads.

This tool helps to assess the risk while working outdoor on forest sites, e.g. while felling trees and moving tree trunks. It is intended mostly for micro and small companies, but it can also be used by large forestry companies. The tool covers a broad variety of risks, including risks when operating a chainsaw and tractor, falls from height, risks related to overturning knocked down trees on slippery and uneven terrain, biological hazards due to forest work (ticks and other animals), harmful noise and vibration effects, unfavorable climatic conditions as well as ergonomic risks due to prolonged static body positions or manual handling of loads.

The EU tool for the agricultural sector was developed by the EU Social Partners Geopa and EFFAT with the support of EU-OSHA to facilitate the assessment of occupational safety and health (OSH) risks in the sector and take preventive and effective action. Risks related to handling animals (cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats), fruit and vegetable cultivation as well as risks related to pesticides, agricultural vehicles, working in confined spaces, working at heights and with heavy machinery, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), and psychosocial issues are among the many risks farmers and agricultural workers face on a daily basis.

This tool has been developed for and by the sector. The tool is therefore adapted to the very specific characteristics of the sector, such as the use of machines, dangerous products, specific work activities, etc. In addition to supporting companies with their risk assessment, the tool includes possible solutions for identified risks, considering ergonomic aspects, personal protection equipment, etc. The tool contributes to better working conditions in the sector, which in turn leads to healthy, motivated employees.

The tool has been developed for and by the sector. During the development of the Belgian tool 'OiRA Immo’, the potential risks associated with the real estate sector have been analysed and have shown that companies and their workers need to be more attentive to the risks in their business. The tool is adapted to the specific characteristics of the sector. On the one hand there is an extensive module on office work, but on the other hand there are also modules with specific attention for the safety and health of employees who work on site (cleaning, management and maintenance of buildings). In addition to identifying the risks, solutions are provided to manage them. The tool contributes to better and safer working conditions in the sector which will lead to healthy and motivated workers.
