MY HEALTH RIGHTS

The kit is designed to give an overview of legislation and standards relating to the design of safer machines, as well as the process of reviewing documents four basic techniques. . It has, moreover, the work done by ETUI-REHS to coordinate the intervention of unions at the national and European level, and support their positions within the European debate on the machines.  The kit also outlines ways to strengthen the involvement of workers in the development process “standard machines.End Pub 1988, when the CES established the European Trade Union Technical Bureau for Safety and Health (now the department of health and safety ETUI-REHS), one of the key objectives was to promote a high level of safety and health at workplaces in Europe, in the context of completing the single market by the year 1993. At the end of 1988, when the CES established the European Trade Union Technical Bureau for Safety and Health (now the department of health and safety ETUI-REHS), one of the key objectives was to promote a high level of security and health at workplaces in Europe, in the context of completing the single market by the year 1993. In 1985, the principles of the New Approach to technical harmonization and standardization have been established in a resolution of the Council (Official Journal of the European Union, C 136, June 4, 1985). These principles lit with the concept of guidelines including detailed technical specifications.  According to the resolution, the guidelines adopted under Article 100A (now Article 95) of the Treaty are limited to “essential safety requirements” expressed in the form of broad objectives, leaving the European standards bodies to determine standards Support detailed.
 All this gave more importance to the work done by organizations such as NEC and CENELEC, and led ETUI-REHS to coordinate and support the contribution of association at work European standards. Since 1989, one of the main responsibilities of ETUI-REHS has been to oversee legislation and standardization at European level, and serve primarily interface with the European Commission and the CEN.  In the context of the legislation, ETUI-REHS has observer status within the Working Committee 98/37/EC Machines, chaired by the European Commission. This working group provides a platform for discussion to the Commission, Member States and other parties concerned by the single market to discuss the practical implementation of the directive on machines. In the context of standardization, ETUI-REHS follows, as an associate member of CEN, the work of two technical committees (TC), namely CEN / TC 122 “Ergonomics”, and CEN / TC 114 ” Safety of machinery.
