Designing a prevention approach suitable for small enterprises
Health and safety in MSE’s is a long-standing concernNew evolutions : 1. Public institutions become aware of the specific need of MSE’s (ie :
European Commission in its EU Strategic Framework on Health 2014-2020 : “Enhancing the capacity of micro and small enterprises to put in place effective and efficient risk prevention measures”).
2. Digital technology allows us to make the knowledge accessible to non-specialist.

Lack of concern for health & safety
701-05-2023 USE2015: Understanding Small Enterprises www.useconference.com
• The owner employer feels alone– A lot of concerns but not about health & safety– A lack of competence in health & safety issues– The perception that the activity does not involve any risk
• He’s responsible for the safety of his employees
• He has to comply with the rules and regulations

Fair system of prevention ?
Do we still want a high level of health and safety protection for all workers?
Or do we accept a different system and different level of protection for workers based on the size of the company?
INRS approach: provide support to SMEs to meet the requirement of protecting the health and safety of all worker

Methodological elements : 6 steps approach
1101-05-2023 USE2015: Understanding Small Enterprises www.useconference.com
1 - Know the target of the action
2 - Understand the needs
3 - Divide the target into segments
4 - Build an offer
5 - Implement the actions and communicate
6 - Assess the objectives and the actions
![Page 12: Designing a prevention approach suitable for small enterprises](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a54add1a28ab4f088b70f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How to do it?No concern about OSH
– Talk about their activity => sectoral approach– Talk about their “real concerns” => economic / human resources
arguments– First concern, fulfill the legal obligation on RA => have an offer
No competences – Answer to the need for assistance
• Direct support in the workplaces => need for partners• Give them the opportunity to manage OSH on their own => need for tools
A huge number of companies– Focus on priority targets– Develop partnerships– Devote resources to promotional actions

Monitor the action with indicatorsExample: OiRA catering
– Online since January 2014– 27 risk situations identified– 60 prevention measures proposed– 5,900 sessions opened– 75% of users didn’t have a risk assessment document previously– 98% of users are in companies with fewer than 20 employees– 95% say that the tool met their needs and would recommend it.

Main results (mid-period)Our prevention vision is now shared with partners (sectoral professional organisation)
The different print supports produced are adapted to the target
The arguments we used (ie : absenteeism rate, over cost, lose time) , in relation to the needs we identified during the 6 steps approach, are relevant
Online risk assessment tool like “OiRA” is recommended by the users.
