Abstract

The aim is to describe the coordination conditions between OSH advisors and professional organisations in order to develop good practices in risk prevention in MSEs. Owner-managers of MSEs often have difficulties in applying OSH legislation and a lack of time and skills for doing it. The stakeholders’ coordination develops a prevention program in two case studies conducted in both the road transport and construction sectors. Discussion groups were conducted during a one-day dialogue workshop with different stakeholders (OSH regulators, OSH advisors, professional organisations, worker and employer representations) of these programs. The cooperation between professional organisations and OSH advisors seems necessary to develop a proactive approach and to create a specific program, considering the particular needs of the professional branch.
