Foreword 
Two occurrences in 1993 were of particular significance for the Advisory 
Committee on Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work. 
Firstly, the European Year of Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work 
(Council Decision of 25 June 1991: OJ L 214, 2.8.1991, p.77), which had 
commenced on 1 March 1992, came to an end on 28 February 19931. The 
Advisory Committee played a major part in ensuring the success of the Year, by 
participating actively in its preparation, implementation and evaluation. Moreover, 
the employers' and workers' representatives on the Advisory Committee were 
instrumental in organising activities carried out at both Community and national 
level. 
Secondly, November 1993 saw the adoption by the Commission of the "general 
framework for action by the Commission of the European Communities in the 
field of safety, hygiene and health protection at work (1994 - 2000)"2, which took 
account of the opinion delivered by the Advisory Committee in February 1993 
(Doc. 43/93) "Draft recommendations concerning safety, hygiene and health 
protection at work in 1993 and beyond". 
A Opinions delivered 
1) Fourth action programme (Doc. 43/93) 
The Committee unanimously adopted document 43/93 outlining the fourth 
action programme in the field of safety, hygiene and health protection at 
work. 
The proposed objectives of the programme are: 
See report contained in document COM(93) 627 final. 
COM(93) 560 final. 
a) to continue to strive, throughout the Community, for a high level 
of safety and health protection for workers at the workplace; 
b) to ensure that Community standards are effectively and consistently 
implemented throughout the Community; 
c) to ensure that employers and workers or their representatives are 
properly involved at all appropriate levels in the development, 
formulation and implementation of Community policy in the field 
of health and safety; 
d) to promote the adoption of Community health and safety standards 
by non-member countries. 
The Committee is keen to stress the innovative nature of the process 
whereby the three interest groups drew up this proposal, each addressing 
their own concerns wholly independently. It considers that the proposed 
programme should constitute a point of reference for all new projects in 
the field of health and safety at work, and that the Committee could give 
thought to setting up an AHG responsible for ensuring that all avenues 
opened up by this text are explored. 
It should be noted that this draft programme served as a basis for drawing 
up the "general framework for action by the Commission of the European 
Communities in the field of safety, hygiene and health protection at work" 
adopted by the Commission in November 1993 (COM(93) 560). 
2) Proposal for a Council Directive on the use of work equipment by 
workers at work (Doc. 4587/1/92) 
The proposed Directive is intended to supplement Directive 89/655/EEC 
on the minimum safety and health requirements for the use of work 
equipment by workers at work. The proposal clarifies and expands on 
subjects covered by the basic Directive, and sets out additional 
requirements in respect of specific work equipment not given adequate 
consideration in the basic Directive. 
In the light of a draft opinion (Doc. 6944/92), the views of the interest 
groups were aired at a plenary meeting of the Committee. 
The main points raised were: 
- the adaptation period requested by the Employers' Group was 
considered to be unacceptable by the Workers' Group; 
- in view of the fact that this new proposal for a Directive aimed not 
only to supplement the existing Directive 89/655 but also to 
introduce additional regulatory elements, the Employers* Group was 
unable to accept the proposed Directive; 
- the Employers' Group had reason to believe that a significant 
number of enterprises in some countries, especially the older-
established companies, were finding that the measures needed to 
comply with the new requirements imposed a considerable 
financial burden, and a number of SMEs felt that their very 
existence might be threatened. 
The draft opinion was adopted by the Workers' and Government Groups, 
while the Employers' Group voted against the proposed Directive. 
3) Proposal for a Council Directive concerning minimum safety and 
health requirements for agricultural and related activities and 
workplaces (Doe. 5420/91) 
The framework Directive (89/391) touches on this subject generally, but 
there is no detailed coverage in existing Directives or proposed Directives 
based on Article 118a. This proposal for a Directive focuses more 
particularly on certain agricultural activities excluded from the Directive 
on workplaces (89/654). By adopting a horizontal approach to the 
proposal, the Commission intends the Directive to apply broadly to 
agricultural and other activities entailing similar risks. The Commission 
therefore plans to include activities similar to agricultural activities in 
other workplaces such as abattoirs, zoological gardens, sports centres and 
veterinary clinics. 
The Committee has not adopted a draft opinion on this proposal for a 
Directive. Two interest groups (Government and Employers) are not 
supporting the proposal, for the following reasons: 
- this new proposal for a Directive was drawn up before the effects 
of the framework Directive (89/391) in the agricultural sector had 
been assessed; 
- the agricultural sector is at present beset with difficulties and it is 
therefore not advisable to introduce additional regulatory measures 
aimed specifically at workers in this sector; 
- the Commission's explanatory memorandum makes the point that 
the proposal constitutes an individual Directive under the 
framework Directive 89/391 and therefore does not apply to self-
employed workers. Accordingly, if it were agreed that the relevant 
principles of existing directives should be extended to self-
employed workers in the agricultural sector, the Commission would 
have to consider an instrument other than the one proposed in this 
case; 
- in the agricultural sector, it is mainly households which are at risk 
from occupational accidents; 
- the scope of the Directive is too broad and there is a risk of 
overlapping with other texts; it therefore needs to be made more 
concise. 
The Workers' Group has pointed out that the agricultural sector is regarded 
as a very high-risk sector, being one of the areas where life expectancy of 
workers is shortest. The Group is therefore convinced that a draft Directive 
is urgently required and that it must include self-employed workers if it 
is to be of any real value. 
4) 17th activity report of the Advisory Committee (1992) - Doc. 1314/93 
The three interest groups adopted the 17th activity report in the course of 
the plenary meeting held on 24 and 25 February 1993. 
5) Standardisation 
The Committee has delivered an opinion on a draft standardisation 
mandate to CEN/CENELEC concerning machinery giving rise to risks in 
connection with the lifting of persons. 
This mandate is in keeping with the common position on the proposal for 
a Directive (COM(91) 547 final SYN 381) amending Directive 
89/392/EEC relating to machinery, published in Official Journal C 25 of 
1 February 1992, which lays down the essential safety and health 
requirements for the machinery in question. Under the terms of Article 5 
of Directive 89/392/EEC, Member States are to presume that machinery 
manufactured in accordance with harmonised standards conforms to the 
said requirements. 
The Committee's views are: 
a) in general, the draft mandate is acceptable; 
b) the following text should be included under section I "Grounds": 
"for the purposes of this mandate, the Advisory Committee on 
Safety, Hygiene and Health Protection at Work has been consulted 
or its opinion obtained in accordance with the Council Decision of 
1974"; 
c) the title of the draft should read "... lifting of persons": 
d) the list of machines in Section II (a) (1) ends with an "etc". It is 
not acceptable to leave it to the standardisation body to determine 
the scope by including or excluding specific machines. This 
possibility is ruled out by Section III.5, and "etc" must therefore be 
deleted so as not to create ambiguities. 
6) Proposal for a Council Directive relating to cableway installations 
designed to carry passengers (Doc. 11/6802/93) 
In those Member States where they are widely used, cableway installations 
designed to carry passengers are covered by regulations to ensure that they 
are safely put into service and operated, while other regulations deal with 
environmental protection and regional planning. National regulations, 
which apply both to components and to the system as a whole, are usually 
of a very detailed nature in terms of obligations imposed, so much so as 
to be incompatible. This situation means that manufacturers are obliged to 
redefine their equipment for each market, which is not conducive to the 
supply of standard equipment and is detrimental to their competitiveness. 
In these circumstances, given that for reasons of public policy (safety, 
health, environment) the regulatory constraints on manufacturers and 
operators are particularly acute, it is difficult to imagine how a genuinely 
8 
open and competitive market could be created in the Community without 
the introduction of a Community-wide reference framework. 
The main points raised by the Committee are: 
- a number of provisions in the draft Directive refer to the Directive 
on public contracts, whilst in some countries (particularly Italy) the 
installations referred to in the Directive belong to the private 
sector. It follows from this that the concept of a "contracting 
entity" does not permit a clear allocation of responsibility for 
certain provisions of the Directive; 
- the scope of the Directive does not indicate whether certain 
inclined lifts are covered by this Directive or by the one relating 
to lifts, and whether interior passenger lifts are included. 
The full opinion of the Committee is contained in document 996/93. 
7) Community action in the field of audiovisual aids to promote safety 
and health at work (Doc. 994/93) 
Document 994/93, presented by the Commission, reflects the needs 
expressed by representatives of the Member States and users, producers 
and sponsors of video films, drawing on the successes of the first 
European film festival for training and information on health and safety at 
work, which was held in Thessaloniki in October 1992. 
The main aims of the proposed Community action are: 
- to encourage the production of appropriate materials and stimulate 
creativity in the fields of health and safety; 
to provide and share information on needs and resources in the 
Community; 
to improve quality standards; 
- to make high-quality productions more readily available to a 
greater number of people and firms; 
- to promote exchanges of information and experience, and to 
consider the development of joint action at Community level. 
In its opinion the Committee stresses that: 
- the use of audiovisual aids is likely to contribute significantly to 
improving safety, hygiene and health protection at work; 
- facilities to be introduced by the Commission could focus on: 
* a catalogue 
* a library 
* a pool of materials 
* a festival 
* a competition 
* market studies 
- in its efforts to achieve worthwhile results in the areas mentioned 
above, the Commission could be assisted by a tripartite group 
constituting a valuable source of advice in connection with the 
implementation of these measures. 
The tripartite group should take the form of an ad hoc group of the 
Committee. 
B Activities of the ad hoc groups 
1) Ad hoc group "Research" 
The group's tasks are: 
to draw up a list of programmes supported by the Commission; 
- to draw the attention of the Commission to areas in which new 
information and appropriate research appear to be required; 
- to establish research priorities under the fourth action programme. 
The group undertook an initial study of documents with a view to 
establishing working methods and a programme. 
This group is to continue its work in 1994 with the aim of presenting a 
draft opinion. 
2) Ad hoc group "Information for undertakings" 
The group's terms of reference are "to draw up guidelines for providing 
information on a European scale to employers and workers, with particular 
emphasis on SMEs". 
The AHG made a request for a basic document to be drawn up by the 
Commission. The Commission decided to wait for the adoption of the 
"General framework for action by the Commission of the European 
Communities in the field of safety, hygiene and health protection at work" 
before putting forward a document. The group is continuing its work in 
1994. 
3) Ad hoc group "Draft safety and health plans and files pursuant to 
Directive 92/57" 
A draft opinion on this matter was prepared for the plenary meeting in 
November 1993. The Workers' and Employers' Groups asked the AHG to 
revise the draft opinion in the light of the following comments: 
- the Workers' Group made the point that it had proposed the 
division of the draft into two parts (plans and files); 
- the Employers' Group sought more information. 
A draft opinion is to be put to the Committee in February 1994. 
4) Ad hoc group "Priority measures" 
Under its terms of reference, the AHG is to propose priorities for 
Commission activities in 1993 and 1994, in the context of the 
Commission's framework for action. 
10 
The AHG held two meetings, in the course of which it started work on the 
preparation of a draft opinion based mainly on the conclusions of the AHG 
"Fourth action programme". It is agreed that the group should continue its 
work in the early part of 1994 with a view to presenting a draft opinion 
on priorities for 1994 at the plenary meeting in February 1994; a request 
for extension of the AHG's terms of reference is to be made at the 
meeting, for the purpose of extending to 2000 the period in respect of 
which the AHG is to propose priorities, in line with the Commission's 
desire for consultation expressed in its "general framework for action by 
the Commission of the European Communities in the field of safety, 
hygiene and health protection at work". 
5) Ad hoc group "Cooperation between the Advisory Committee and the 
Safety and Health Commission" 
Under the terms of Article 2(2)(d) of the Council Decision of 
27 June 1974, the Committee has the task of defining, within the 
framework of Community action programmes and in cooperation with the 
Mines Safety and Health Commission: 
- the criteria and aims of the campaign against the risk of accidents 
at work and health hazards within undertakings; 
- methods enabling undertakings and their employees to evaluate and 
to improve the level of protection. 
A joint Advisory Committee/Safety and Health Commission group has 
therefore been formed: it met on two occasions in 1993. Members of the 
Safety and Health Commission attended the second meeting, during which 
the group agreed to an exchange of observers at the plenary meetings of 
both bodies. The observers' task is to report to their respective bodies on 
existing needs as regards meetings and cooperation on the various subjects 
dealt with. Observers from the Advisory Committee will be selected from 
the "Organisation" group responsible for preparing the plenary meeting 
agenda. The experiment is to run initially for a year and a half. The 
proposed exchange of observers is to be presented in the form of a draft 
opinion at the plenary meeting in February 1994. 
6) Ad hoc group "Evaluation of workplace risks" 
The Commission has drawn up a document providing guidance on how to 
carry out risk assessment at the workplace (Doc. 802/93). Intended for 
employers, workers and other interested parties, it deals with the practical 
aspects of implementing the risk-assessment requirements of Council 
Directive 89/391/EEC (framework Directive). The ad hoc group conducted 
a preliminary examination of the document, and is to complete its work 
early in 1994. 
11 
7) Ad hoc group "Occupational exposure levels" 
The ad hoc group examined the guidelines concerning "the procedure for 
the scientific review made as part of the establishment of occupational 
exposure levels in the European Community" (Doc. 803/1/93). It also 
discussed the setting of priorities for future work by the Commission in 
connection with occupational exposure levels, DG Vs participation in 
assessment of the risks associated with chemical agents and the scope of 
proposals on the establishment of occupational exposure levels. This group 
will be continuing its work in 1994.
