The assessment of work-related stress (WRS) is provided for by Article 28 of Legislative Decree 81/08. The Work-Related Stress (WRS) Assessment Document Template is based on the methodology illustrated in the INAIL Guidelines Ed. 2017. It consists of the detection of 'objective, verifiable, and where possible numerically appreciable WRS risk indicators', belonging to three distinct families:

sentinel events;

work content factors;

work context factors.

Postural load assessment is based on the OWAS method, which features a simple and systematic classification of work postures based on observation of work tasks. It is based on the UNI ISO 11226:2019 standard "Ergonomics Assessment of Static Work Postures." After determining, based on a significant sample of observations, the postures assumed by workers throughout the day and assigning each to the corresponding risk class, the risk index for each operation or task performed can be calculated based on the time spent by the operator in the various postures.

The risk of falling on a flat surface due to slipping is regulated by Legislative Decree no. 81/2008. In industrial settings, the risk of slipping can be particularly dangerous due to the presence of liquids, oils, slippery materials, and other unfavorable environmental conditions. The factors that will be analyzed are the following:

technical factors related to the characteristics of the flooring

physical-technical aspects of the environment

technical elements and furnishings of the architectural space

work tasks and space management

human factors

Microclimate is a topic that falls squarely within the scope of workplace risks, as described in Chapter I, Articles 180-186 of Legislative Decree 81/2008. The assessment is based on the calculation of the heat index following the field measurement of two parameters:

air temperature

relative humidity

Title X of Legislative Decree 81/08 requires that all work activities be assessed for generic biological risks, potentially present in all work environments. The assessment is carried out following the ISPRA manual and guidelines no. 93/2013 and is based on the detection of the following parameters:

probability of exposure to and contamination by biological agents

possible damage caused by contact

The Italian legislation covering all aspects of chemical risk assessment, applied to the workplace, can be found in Chapter I, Title IX of Legislative Decree 81/08. The assessment is based, following field surveys and the recovery of the safety data sheets of the products used, on the determination of:

inhalation exposure index (einal)

dermal exposure index (ecute)

Industrial machinery cleaning is crucial for reducing machine-related risks, ensuring the proper functioning, safety, and longevity of industrial systems and operations. Specifically, the service will be structured as follows: 1. Machine condition assessment; 2. Sampling (via a Sampling Kit) of products deposited in the machine's surrounding environment; 3. Laboratory tests will be conducted with various IGreenTech detergents to recommend the most effective one that meets the customer's needs. 4. Product supply with related usage procedures; 5. Staff training (if required); 6. On-site inspection with subsequent issuance of a cleaning certificate.

Evaluation of work area and work cycle

Retrieval of relevant documentation and data log

Identification of hazards and risk estimation

Technical calculation report and mitigation procedures

Integration of use and maintenance manual and safety procedures

Post-mitigation evaluation and drafting of improvement project if deemed necessary

Training
