iPad app promotes safety and health at work

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) released its first iPad application to support work safety and to promote health at the workplace.

The new app is part of the Healthy Workplaces Campaign 2012–13 “Working together for risk prevention” and its main aim is to help managers and employees address the risks they face at work and to ease the communication between them in improving safety and health. The app provides the users with access to a number of practical guides, case studies, animated infographics, as well as an interactive self-assessment tool.



There are two examples of infographics included in the newly released application. The first one represents data on work-related accidents in Europe and warns that every 3.5 minutes a person dies in the European Union as a result of work-related accident of an occupational disease.

The second infographic deals with work-related deaths and stresses that according to the available data, 6.9 million people, or a number equalling the combined population of Brussels, Frankfurt and Rome, suffered accidents at work in 2007.

These figures represent a huge cost in terms of human suffering and impact considerably on businesses and productivity. The two infographics and the iPad application itself strive to raise awareness about the importance of risk prevention at the workplace.
