The EKAS-Guideline on consulting occupational doctors and other occupational
safety and health specialists (EKAS 6508) provides that companies have
sole responsibility to analyse their work cycles and the development
of protective measures. With regard to special hazards occupational
safety and health specialists must, however, be consulted. Ecosens
Inc. consulted various industrial sectors (i.e. electrical engineering,
chemical industry, and food industry) on the issue of occupational
safety and health. Various potential risks were identified and analysed:
- Endangerment through chemical substances (e.g. inhalation of
steams)
- Insufficient ergonomic design of the working environment (e.g.
repetitive activities, lighting, screen handling)
- Physical impacts (e.g. noise, vibrations).
