Safe maintenance is the theme of this year’s European Week for Safety and Health at Work, which is currently taking place in over 30 European countries. This week-long campaign, which is organised by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), advocates proper maintenance in order to keep work-related accidents and health problems to a minimum.

As part of this campaign, the Occupational Health and Safety Authority in Malta, OHSA-Malta, organised a seminar on safe maintenance, during which the Occupational Health and Safety Good Practice Award 2010-2011 was presented to 10 companies and organisations in recognition of their commitment to making their workplace safer for their employees.

OHSA-Malta’s Mark Gauci said: “Although, unfortunately, there are still cases where health and safety at work are still being neglected, we took this opportunity to convey a positive message by giving recognition to these 10 entities for their commitment towards a safer work environment.”

An independent panel will nominate two of these 10 companies to compete for the European Good Practice Award at the European level.
