STRENGTHENING FARM HEALTH AND SAFETY KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION SYSTEMS

Descrizione del progetto

Introdurre pratiche più sicure nelle aziende agricole

L’agricoltura può rivelarsi un’occupazione pericolosa in quanto presenta numerosi fattori di rischio, come l’utilizzo di attrezzature pesanti. Gli studi dimostrano che gli agricoltori sono esposti a un rischio estremamente elevato di incidenti mortali e non mortali. Pertanto, migliorare la salute e la sicurezza dei lavoratori agricoli è una priorità. In questo contesto, il progetto SafeHabitus, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di sensibilizzare l’opinione pubblica sui temi della salute e della sicurezza all’interno delle aziende agricole. A tal fine, svilupperà metodi di narrazione digitale che daranno voce ai lavoratori agricoli vittime di incidenti. Inoltre, si occuperà della progettazione di strumenti di gestione dei rischi legati al lavoro agricolo e della valutazione della disponibilità dei consumatori a pagare un extra per una produzione alimentare che tuteli la salute e la sicurezza.

Obiettivo

SafeHabitus will make farming a safer occupation. Farming is amongst the most dangerous jobs in Europe. European statistics show that the fatality rate in farming is 233% higher than other industries and the accident rate is 18% higher. These figures underestimate the scale of the problem as a significant proportion of farm workplace fatalities, injuries and ill health go unreported, un-investigated, and prevention approaches are not learned. Improving farmers’ and farm workers’ health and safety requires action by a range of stakeholders to empower and support them to change unsafe practices and adopt new, safer and healthier ways of working. SafeHabitus is a multi-actor project that has come together to strengthen Farm Health and Safety Knowledge Innovation Systems (FHS KIS) and support the EU transition to social sustainability in farming. Our premise is that driving health and safety on farms is not about dissemination but changing habitual practices. To achieve this, SafeHabitus applies a range of novel methods; digital story telling methods with people who experienced accidents; application of the multi-actor approach to co-design farm work risk management tools; foresight analysis; analyses of consumer willingness to pay for food production that protects health and safety; bench-marking policies and elite interviews with policy makers. Our consortia include end-users, stakeholders and researchers in case study Member States. These work together in ten national COPs covering a representative variety of countries and sectors. SafeHabitus also engages with European bodies and stakeholders who provide critical bridges between EU and national / regional actors and who can influence EU policy such as the Geopa (Copa-Cogeca), CEJA, EFFAT, Oxfam, SVLFG, and AEIDL. This multi-level and transnational approach will allow SafeHabitus advance safer practices on farms across the EU.
