Physical hazards as persistent as ever European workers remain as exposed to physical hazards as they did 20 years ago, the 5th European Working Conditions Survey shows. For instance, one in three workers (33%) carry heavy loads at least a quarter of their working time, while almost one in four (23%) are exposed to vibrations. Both these figures are unchanged since 2000. Source : http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/surveys/ewcs/2010/physicalfactors.htm
This report focuses on the exposure of Australian workers to direct sunlight and the control measures that are provided in workplaces that eliminate, reduce or control worker exposure to direct sunlight. The aims of this report are as follows: to describe patterns of exposure to direct sunlight in conjunction with patterns of direct sunlight control provision with respect to industry, occupation and other relevant demographic and employment variables, and; to make recommendations, where possible, for the development of OHS and workers' compensation policy.
