TO CLIENTS TO CLIENTS
CDM 2015 CDM 2015
Principals of Prevention
a) avoid risks;
b) evaluate the risks which cannot be avoided;
c) combat the risks at source;
d) adapt the work to the individual, especially regarding the design of
workplaces, the choice of work equipment and the choice of working and
production methods, with a view, in particular, to alleviating monotonous
work, work at a predetermined work rate and to reducing their effect on
health;
e) adapt to technical progress;
f) replace the dangerous by the non-dangerous or the less dangerous;
g) develop a coherent overall prevention policy which covers technology,
organisation of work, working conditions, social relationships and the
influence of factors relating to the working environment;
h) give collective protective measures priority over individual protective
measures; and
i) give appropriate instructions to employees.
