Two experiences on education and training in dry-cleaners
No full textThe aim of the study was to evaluate which training method was more useful for employers of
small enterprises concerning occupational health and safety.
Therefore, we decided to involve the dry-cleaner employers’ associations of our town in a project
of educational meetings with the employers, before making repressive inspections.
In 1989,43 dry-cleaners were then inspected and the data obtained about occupational risks were
discussed in these meetings, in order to explain to the employers meaning and necessity of adopting
the correct preventive measures provided for by the law. A second inspection was carried out some
months later, in 1990, to check the effectiveness of the meetings. In 19 out of 43 dry-cleaners (44%)
the lack in risk prevention, discovered in 1989, was not, or only in part, eliminated. Therefore, we
thought to act towards the remaining dry-cleaner employers in a different way: (a) on the basis of
the previous inspections, we produced a handbook easy to understand and rich in information about
occupational risks in dry-cleaning and how to avoid them; (b) in 1992 our educational staff executed
training inspections in 67 other dry-cleaners, together with employers and workers. They distributed
the handbooks and, at the same time, gave some practical example of solution for safety problems. In
1993, in 25 (randomly selected) out of the 67 dry-cleaners, a inspection was carded out to check on:
adoption of correct environmental prevention measures, correct utilization of personal protective
equipment, execution of correct medical surveillance. Law violations were proportionally much lower
(e.g., omitted or inadequate forced air drawing= 36%) than those found in the first inspection of
1989 (e.g., omitted or inadequate forced air drawing = 86%).
Although other causes could interfere, it is possible that this result is connected to the last training
method, that is more time-consuming but awakens the employers of small enterprises to the risks for
health and safety and to act accordingly.The aim of the study was to evaluate which training method was more useful for employers of small enterprises concerning occupational health and safety.
