Objective
OBJECTIVES
The nature of the work and the working environment in the timber industry expose employees to considerable risks and cause a large number of accidents. Directives have been drawn up at a European level but they have yet to be implemented. The partners involved in this project wish to contribute to improving working conditions in this sector by helping operators to develop a safe and efficient working environment. Consequently, their objective is to design a training programme which will help employees to implement the safety Directives and to reorganise their working environment with a view to making it safer.
ACTIVITIES
The European Directives will be studied carefully with regard to the production processes and means used in Europe's timber industry. The partners will then determine any changes which need to be made to the production processes to allow safety measures to be applied, whilst taking the sector's profitability criteria into consideration. They will identify the changes needed in the area of work organisation and, on the basis of all this information, will embark upon the design of training modules and tools for SMEs. The modules will then be tested at several pilot sites and adjusted. Informational material will finally be produced.
PRODUCTS
Two products will be operational immediately: a modular training programme and a multimedia programme introducing new working methods and best practices.
