"Bei allem was in Unternehmen und Organisationen möglich ist, ist die Gesundheit und Sicherheit der Menschen die natürliche Grenze dessen was machbar ist. Sicherheit und Gesundheit bei der Arbeit sind entsprechend die Lebensadern einer jeden Organisation, die als selbstverständlicher Indikator für die unternehmerische Entwicklung in die betrieblichen Prozesse integriert und laufend fortentwickelt werden. Durch eine ganzheitliche Gefährdungsbeurteilung wird entsprechend nicht nur für die Sicherheit und Gesundheit der Mitarbeitenden Sorge getragen, sondern es ist auch eine Investition in die Leistungsfähigkeit und Sicherung des unternehmerischen Erfolgs."

"Sono arrivato all’Hotel Danieli nel 2000 come Facchino du Notte. Ho avuto la fortuna di fare sia il Room Service che il manutentore. Sono stato calpito dal fatto che l’azienda mette in primo piano la siccurezza dei luoghi e dei lavoratori.
La cosa piu importante per me è che ho imparato capire che la siccurezza è in anzitutto individuale e dopo collettiva. Questa presa di coszienza mi ha convinto a approfondir le mie conoscenze della materia. Oggi sono volontario del primo soccorso alla Misericordia di Venezia. La mia idea resta che: “Nessuno deve morire nel luogo di lavoro”."

“Economic globalization, with its positive and negative effects on working people’s health and wellbeing, calls for more intense transnational collaboration in efforts to promote healthy and safe work. The Safety & Health Website can make a significant contribution towards extending safe and secure work for all.”

Johannes Siegrist, Senior Professor for Work Stress Research, University of Düsseldorf, Germany

Maureen Shaw

Ben Hume

"The “Safety & Work” website is a great tool for SME’s. It’s simple to navigate and the tools are not full of jargon that many small companies would not understand. All of this means SME’s are more likely to actually use it as a resource and that is what counts. Congratulations to all of the site creators for a job well done."

Ben Hume - Chair BC Safety Charter Steering Committee and President and CEO Sheppards Building Materials Inc., Canada

Mike Robinson

"We see the Safety & Work website as a valuable asset, one which will assist small and medium sized businesses to manage the health and safety of their workforce by drawing on examples of best practice and shared resources from a number of countries. The British Safety Council is delighted to play its part and to support this excellent enterprise."

Mike Robinson, Chief Executive, British Safety Council

Lynn Brownell

Stéphane Pimbert

“For OSH specialists, SMEs are difficult to reach. These companies require support in their approach and must address prevention within the framework of their professional practice. To this end, INRS offers a series of simple, customised tools enabling SMEs to implement an occupational risk prevention strategy in their company on their own.  The “Safety & Work” website contributes to sharing tools developed in different countries and disseminating them to the greatest possible number of SMEs.”

Stéphane Pimbert, Director general, INRS

Klaus Marsch

"Die Safety & Work-Website bietet genau das, was kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen benötigen: Eine schnelle, umfassende und vor allem praxistaugliche Informationsplattform rund um das Thema Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheit. Die Vermeidung von Unfällen und die Erhaltung der Gesundheit gehören zu den Kernaufgaben der BGN. Safety & Work ist ein wichtiges Medium, mit dem wir unsere Zielgruppe direkt erreichen."

« La cultura è la base per ogni crescita professionale; sin da quando  ho assunto l’incarico di Presidente dell'ente bilaterale del turismo di Venezia  mi sono impegnato a diffondere un po' alla volta sempre più i corsi: l’ informatica, l'inglese, la cucina,la  capacità di comunicazione, per arrivare di recente agli aspetti della psicologia, d’ importanza fondamentale Mi sono sempre posto l'obiettivo di far innamorare di questa magnifica parola che è la cultura  i lavoratori del turismo e le persone che, a vario titolo, lavorano con il nostro ente»

«Dans notre environnement hyper connecté, l’accès à l’information est complexe. Le thème de la Santé et de la Sécurité au Travail est abordé par une multitude de sites. Comment accéder à des informations validées qui font référence en termes de S&ST ? Dans chaque pays, des organismes (tels l’INRS et les Carsat en France) proposent un accès à une information de qualité. Les enjeux des risques professionnels ne sauraient toutefois se limiter aux frontières d’un pays, aux barrières d’une langue. C’est en cela que l’offre Internet « Safety-Work.org » est inhabituelle en donnant accès à des outils et démarches conçus et mis en œuvre dans d’autres pays, avec des approches souvent différentes. Vous y trouverez des façons originales de dynamiser vos actions de prévention.»

Georges Lischetti, ingénieur conseil régional, Carsat Alsace-Moselle

"Unfälle im Straßenverkehr stellen für die meisten Betriebe und öffentlichen Einrichtungen das größte Risiko dar. Deshalb ist aktive Verkehrssicherheitsarbeit so wichtig!"
