INTRODUCTION
Article 3ofCouncil Decision of27June 1974 onthesetting up
ofanAdvisory Committee onSafety ,Hygiene andHealth Protection
atWork provides that 'the Committee shall produce anannual report
onitsactivities' and 'the Commission shall forward that report to
theEuropean Parliament ,theCouncil ,theEconomic andSocial Committee
andtheConsultative Committee oftheEuropean Coal andSteel Community *
This first report wasdrawn up "bythe secretariat ,andwasapproved
"bytheCommittee on19April 1977 *
Itcovers more than ayear (second half of1975 and "thewhole of1976 )
"because theCommittee wasinitially concerned mainly with preparatory
work which didnotprovide sufficient material foraprogress report
onthe6-month period .
Thereport isnotmerely alist ofactivities ;there isalso acertain
amount ofinformation ontherunning problems encountered which maybe
ofinterest totherecipients .
Because ofitstripartite structure andthestatus ofitsmembers ,the
Committee enjoys anauthority andaprestige which areconductive to
decision-making atCommission ,andeven Council ,level ,provided that
thenecessary administrative andtechnical facilities areavailable .

Provision ofinformation totheCommission
FromtheoutBet,theCommittee stressedtheimportance ofconcertation
"betweentheMemberStatesonmeasuresrelatingtosafety,hygieneand
healthprotection atwork.
InFebruary 1976theCommittee saidthattheCommission shouldbe
informedbytheMemberStatesofallproposed laws,regulations and
administrative provisions relatingtosafety,hygieneandhealthprotec­
tionatworkwhichaffectedthesefieldsingeneralortheCommunity ao-
tionprogrammeinparticular ,andofanynewproblemsdeemedworthyof
consideration atCommunity level.
Research andinvestigations
TheCommittee askedtheCommission todrawuptwolistsofcurrent
orrecentnational research inthefieldsofindustrial safetyand
medicine respectively ,toserveasastarting-point forthecoordination
ofnational research andthefurtherance ofCommunity research .In
1977theCommittee intendstomakeacritical analysis oftheselists
inordertopinpoint anygapsandmakecorresponding suggestions for
coordinated research atnational orCommunity level.
Similarly ,inagreement withtheCommittee ,theCommission ha8outlined
pilotstudiesof:
–carcinogenic sub*'nces
-inflammable substances
-analysisofsafetyhazardsintheconstruction industry.

abregards future research work ,theCommittee suggested that the
organisation® responsible forpromoting research int>»omember courtries
ahould infom theCommission at .if.gular intervals about their programmes
andprojects andthat theConirio-ion should introduce measures to
facilitate theexohange ofinformation between thevarious national
organisations ,toavoid duplication oroverlapping ,andencourage them
*otmdertake certain joint projects .
TheCommittee delegations designated certain persons orbodies toaot
asaliaison office foreach country inorder toensure that the
Coaniasion received regular information andWorking Party IIwas ,asked
todraw upastandard form forthesupply ofinformation ontheprojeots

Inthecourse ofdiscussion ontheprogramme ,various important points
emerged ,and itwasagreed that thefollowing preparatory studies should
beundertaken immediately :
-training ofsafety andhealth specialists
-teaching ofgeneral principles ofoccupational safety andhealth inschools
-initial training ofworkers insafety matters
-safety problems arising from subcontracting
-accidents intheprivate sector
-safety ofagricultural equipment
-health andhygiene inthebuilding construction industry .
54Participation ofboth sides ofindustry
TheCommittee agreed that theCommission should
-draw upacomparative study ontheparticipation ofboth
sides ofindustry inoccupational accident anddisease
prevention intheMember States ;
-draw upaproposal onthesetting upandrunning oforgani zations
intheMember States involving theparticipation ofboth sides
ofindustry attheappropriate levels ofprevention ;
-take appropriate measures toencourage management andworkers
todraw upcollective agreements onsafety andhealth
protection ;
these three items would becarried out insuccession .
TheCommittee also agreed tohelp thesecretariat with any
preparations required inconnection with these activities .

57Statistical information
From the outset ,theCommittee had asked the Commission tomake a
determined effort toimprove thesupply ofoccupational accident
and disease statistics .
Knowing that improvements ofthis kind were complicated andwould
take some considerable time ,theCommittee recommended that initially
alist (based onexperience ofthecoal andsteel sector andonthe
statistics already available )should bedrawn upof
-the main causes ofaccidents and
-efficient preventive measures ,
sothat ideas andmethods could bebrought into line ifnecessary *
Thegovernment representatives ontheCommittee agreed tosupply
thesecretariat with asummary ofthemain problems inthefield of
accident ,prevention ,toserve asabasis forthis list .These docu­
ments arenowbeing processed .
58 Information and documentation
The Committee has been informed ofthe activities oftwo ofthe
working parties which existed before itwas setup-those
concerned with in-plant safety services intheMember States ,and
with thejoint production ofafilm onthesafe handling ofloads .
TheCommittee b-abeen given general "information onsome ofthe
directives recently submitted totheCouncil orbeing drawn upaspart
ofthegeneral programme fortheelimination oftechnical barriers
totrade ;information ofthis kind isregarded asafirst step ,but
coordination between such action and the Committee 'sfuture aotivities
will need tobegone into more thoroughly .

Several documents have "been distributed tothe members ofthe
Committee forinformation purposes !these refer inparticular to:
–research inDenmark andItaly
-the activities ofthe Joint Committee onSocial Problems inSea
Fishing inconnection with safety .
TheCommittee hasreceived adocument listing alltheorganizations
connected inanywaywith occupational safety ,health andhygiene
within the Directorate-General for Employment and Social Affairs
(date when setup,powers ,members ,structure ).
.Much ofthis information anddocumentation was supplied tothe
Committee onrequest .Itwould bedesirable fortheposition of
theCommittee inrelation tothemany bodies anddepartments
concerned with occupational safety andhealth tobemore clearly
i
defined .
ACTIVITIES OFTHEWORKING PARTIES
Nearly allthepreparatory work fortheCommittee (seeitem 5)wasdone
bythethree Working Parties under their terms ofreference .These
activities arelisted below with additional details .
60Hoiking Eajrtx X1Consultation onproblems ofandrequirements
respecting occupational accident anddisease prevention

–lists ofrecent research projects
-theestablishment ofaliaison network tocoordinate future
research andtheproduction ofastandard form forthesupply of
information totheCommission
-themain practical achievement ofthis Working Party has "been the
initiation ofaseries ofstudies .
62Working Party Ills Participation ofboth sides ofindustry in
occupational accident anddisease prevention
–part oftheprogramme (see54)
-theWorking Party drew upanoutline forthecomparative study
mentioned under item 54
–thenational reports forthis comparative study were supplied
bymembers ofthis Working Party ,
7.SECRETARIAT
TheCommission inLuxembourg provides asecretariat fortheCommittee and
itsWorking Parties (theHealth andSafety Directorate oftheDirectorate -
General forEmployment andSocial Affairs ).
Messrs H.Baur andW.Goeminne actassecretary anddeputy secretary respec­
tively .
Atthefirst meeting ,theCommittee stressed that ,inview -ofthevolume
ofwork ,thesecretariat must beadequately staffed ;this washowever not
thecase during thereference period .
TheCommittee therefore operated without adequate secretarial help during
therunning-in period ,and,when thefirst progress report wasbeing approved ,
expressed itsdisappointment atnotbeing able toorganize itswork more
efficiently because ofthese practical problems .

-15-
8.CONCLUSIONS ANDFUTUREACTIVITIES
Mostoftheworkwasinoonnection withthesettingupandorganization
oftheCommittee andtherunninginoftheCommission actionprogramme .
Threeworkingpartieswerestartedandtwodraftdirectives examined (see
items55and56)•
Thepractice ofsubmitting documents totheCommittee "aftertheevent"
wascriticized -aclearindication oftheCommitte'swishtobeassociated
withsuchworkfromtheoutset.
TheCommittee reiterated itsintention offulfilling theroleofadvisorto
theCommission onallaspectsofsafetyandhealthatworkwhichwasassigned
toitwhenitwassetup(CouncilDecision 73/325EEC).Withthisinmind,
theCommittee askedtheCommission toensurethattheCommittee wasinformed
ingoodtimeofallCommission activities inthisfield(e.g.variousdirec­
tivesunder ,thegeneralprogramme fortheelimination oftechnical barriers
totrade,someoftheactivities oftheJointCommittees ,theEuropean Founda­
tionfortheimprovement oflivingandworkingconditions andotheradvisory
ortechnical bodies).Consultation ofthiskindwillrepresent alargepart
oftheCommittee 'sfuturework.
Intheimmediate futuretheCommittee 'sactivities willbelargelydetermined
bytheCommunity actionprogramme onhealthandsafetyatwork(seeitem5^)*
HieCommittee strongly urgesthatthisprogramme beofficially adoptedas
soonaspossible .

16
From 1978 onwards ,thework oftheCommission 'sservices will
have toexpand accordingly *
Theprogramme requires that theCommittee 'sstructure isadapted
anddeveloped ,ltoeCommission 'sservices involved andthesecre­
tariat therefore should beadequately staffed (numerically and
qualitatively ),sothat theCommittee canfunction properly *
