14SA 25/20 - Disposal of Surplus and Used Company Clothing
(revision of SA 25/15) EIGA member companies have previously reported instances where members of the public were mistaken for employees due to wearing clothing showing company logos. This Security Alert provides guidance on how members should manage the issue, retrieval and disposal of clothing that could have company logos on them. It is intended for those persons responsible for the management of clothing, including personal protective equipment displaying company logos.
15SA 26/20 - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drones) - Guidance to EIGA Members
(revision of SA 26/15) The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) is increasing for both leisure and commercial purposes.
A number of countries have legal requirements on the use of drones for commercial purposes, but there is not a harmonised approach across Europe.
This Security Alert (members only) provides a number of recommendations on how EIGA member companies should manage the use of commercial drones on members’ sites as well as recommendations on how to react to unauthorised flights of drones over their sites.
The Security Alert is intended for those who manage the use of authorised drones in member companies as well as site managers.
16Doc 904/20 - Work Injury Statistics (WIST)
(revision of Info Doc 904/11) EIGA Doc 904 "Work Injury Statistics (WIST)” (for members only) contains the rules and guidelines for reporting industry injuries and is intended to be used by those who are working with the EIGA Statistic Platform WIST.
SAC has revised the document and the new revision contains important changes that have been approved by the Board of Directors.
This revision was initiated due to concerns from the EIGA Board of Directors about the increasing number of injuries suffered by contractors working for member companies. Contractors undertake many high-risk activities for member companies. The aim of EIGA member companies is to provide safe work environment for each person, so this revision includes a new requirement to report injuries suffered by contractors.
It also includes the requirement to report injuries suffered by people working for member companies and their contracting companies, occurring at any location involving homecare installations and services related to the supply and use of medical gases in a patient’s home environment.
The new WIST platform is aligned with this revision. It contains a new qualification field ‘contract type’ to be able to split data between injuries suffered by people working for member companies and their contracting companies. To obtain correct statistical data a field to enter the hours worked by contractors has been included. Reports will be available in different categories: member company employees, contractors and both together.
17Doc 914/20 - Road Vehicle Accident Statistics (RAST)
(revision of Info Doc 914/05) To establish the consequences, nature and frequency of accidents to the industry's road vehicles, EIGA collects systematic and detailed information on injury, loss and damage related to significant accidents. This information adds to industry knowledge and enables informed discussion with the legislators.
EIGA Doc 914 Road Vehicle Accident Statistics (RAST) contains the rules and guidelines for collection and reporting of data on road vehicle accidents and is intended to be used by those who are working with the EIGA Statistic Platform RAST.
This revision highlights an important change approved by the Board of Directors: reporting on road vehicle accidents is mandatory from 2020, both for accidents from member companies and from their contracting companies.
The new RAST platform is aligned with this revision. It contains a new qualification field ‘contract type’ to be able to split data between member companies and their contracting companies. To obtain correct statistical data the kilometres driven are split between own transport and subcontracted transport. Reports will be available in different categories: member company accidents, contractor accidents and both together.
