This is an EU-OSHA model tool. It does not serve the needs of MSEs in specific Member States, since legislation might differ and be more detailed. However, it gives an overview on what to take into account, when conducting an occupational safety and health risk assessment for an office environment. The tool also includes optional parts about a reception or service desk, should this be part of the office setup, as well as cleaning tasks. 

The tool covers the following modules: OSH Management in general construction work; Preparation for implementation of general construction work; Earth moving and excavation work; Construction of reinforced concrete structures; Construction of masonry; Installation of structures; Construction of building systems; Insulation and finishing work; Building transmission and distribution pipelines; Construction of roads and pedestrian areas; Work with machinery and mechanical equipment; Work at a height; Work in confined areas; Fire activities; Diving works; Manual handling of loads.

This tool aims to help companies to actively combat any kind of disrespectful behaviour and to prevent harassment and sexual harassment in the workplace. It is divided in four modules: 

1. Module: gives guidance and advice for setting up a proper approach at company level to combat any kind of harassment
2. Module: proposes concrete steps on how to prevent root causes of harassment
3. Module: gives indications for specific provisions on sexual harassment
4. Module: includes information on how to follow up if a case of harassment has occurred in the workplace

DISCLAIMER: Companies should be aware that this tool has been developed at EU level and the offered advice can differ from national legislative requirements.

The purpose of this tool is initially to identify and assess occupational risks and then to develop an action plan with the necessary protection and prevention measures during teleworking - regardless of the sector of economic activity of the company/organisation.

The tool consists of two modules, one is for the employer to fill out and the second part refers to the teleworker directly. The tool was developed using as a starting point the corresponding  Teleworking tool developed by the  EU-OSHA and the necessary modifications and additions were applied in order to adapt it to the national reality and the national OSH legislation.
