Lithuania develops OiRA tools for the mining and cleaning sectors

 State Labour Inspectorate of the Republic of Lithuania has developed two new OiRA tools for the ‘mining and quarrying’ and ‘cleaning services’ sectors to help companies identify and assess workplace hazards and risks.

The ‘mining and quarrying’ tool is

 particularly addressed at those who 

perform their activity in mineral surfaces

 and extractive industries. It includes 

mandatory modules like risk factors and 

hazards associated to heavy equipment. The ‘premises cleaning

 services’ tool focuses on high-risk works, including working at 

height and the use of chemicals. It can also be used by companies 

that have their own employees/cleaners.

I think it is great ! It is important to protect jobs like cleaners 

because the people involved use chemicals and very often without

 gloves ! It is necessary a mandatory rule for this problem in order 

to protect the people performing this job (usually women ) !

Very often cleaners work at height. Think of a pregnant  woman !

If she is tired and is working at height, it could be a disaster !

This kind of workers (cleaners) are the less protected ! I think that 

Lituania has made a good job for the protection of every kind of 

workers !
