Occupational safety and health is a major concern to many countries and the traditional way to deal with it is legislation, regulation, standards and safety guidelines.
SRISL has worked closely with the Ministry of Social Affairs and
Employment in the Netherlands in the Workgroup Occupational Risk
Model (WORM) project. WORM is a large scale project to improve the
level of safety at workplace, by introducing quantitative
occupational risk. Its main achievement is the development of the
Occupational Risk Model, which is built on the detailed analysis of
9000 accident reports in the Netherlands.
