Objectives: In many European countries, external economic incentives are discussed as a policy instrument to promote occupational safety and health (OSH) in enterprises. This narrative case study review aims to support policy-makers in organizations providing such incentives by supplying information about different incentive schemes and their main characteristics such as effectiveness, efficiency, and feasibility.
Methods: The focal point and topic centre network of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work were used to collect case studies about incentive schemes aimed at supporting the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases in enterprises.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated indoor allergens in various settings: schools, offices, and homes, by collecting dust samples from furniture, desks, mattresses, and floors.
- The analysis focused on specific allergens like Der p 1, Der f 1 (mites), and Fel d 1 (cats) using a monoclonal antibody ELISA assay.
- Results showed that mite allergens were more common in homes, while Fel d 1 was frequently found in all environments, indicating that homes pose a higher risk for mite allergies and all settings carry a risk for cat allergen exposure.
