OHS Risk Assessment
According to the Greek Legislation (L. 3850/2010), the employer is obliged to have a written OHS Risk Assessment study concerning occupational risks for health and safety, including workers exposed in special hazards during their work. The existence of an OHS Risk Assessment confirms that the employer is fully compliant with the OHS legislation in Greece.
The very small and small-medium enterprises (VSSME) may lack the resources or knowhow needed for the development of an OHS Risk Assessment for their working environment. The Greek sector-specific OiRA Tools and the OHS Help Desk of the Greek Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs aim at supporting all VSSME to overcome those difficulties.
OiRA sectoral tools
OiRA – Online interactive Risk Assessment – is a web platform that enables the creation of sectoral risk assessment tools in any language in an easy and standardised way (http://www.oiraproject.eu/el). It is developed and maintained by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work.
The OiRA sectoral tools provided on the OiRA platform are online interactive tools (https://oiraproject.eu/el/oira-tools), which allow and support every employer, Safety Officer or employee to carry out his own OHS Risk Assessment through leveraging the sector-specific standard risk assessment report (meaning the sector-specific OiRA Tool).

Use the sectoral OiRA Tools to develop your OHS Risk Assessment successfully and free of any charge!
The OHS Help Desk is at your service in order to solve inquires and support you both in OHS matters and the easier use of the OiRA Tools.
