Mapping and comparative analysis of how OHS-activities are regulated, funded, organized and implemented in countries comparable with Denmark

The Danish Working Environment Authority (WEA)

There is only a limited evidence basis for effects of health and safety initiatives (e.g. various types of inspection, communication, collaboration between parties), including the part for which the Danish WEA is responsible. A series of cause-and-effect factors are relevant. There is a need for more extensive knowledge about the organisation of health and safety initiatives in comparable countries to inform planning of future allocation by the Danish WEA of its resources between different instruments. Therefore, there is a need for a comparative mapping of resource allocations, in addition to an analysis of the role of national WEA's in countries where working conditions are similar to those in Denmark.
This knowledge is to be used as inspiration and to benchmark health and safety initiatives in Denmark with comparable countries, including whether working environment legislation and regulations set significantly different requirements in these countries than in Denmark.

Kort beskrivelse:

1. Introduction

The Danish WEA wants to give priority to interventions for which there is evidence and, to the extent possible, to interventions with the largest positive effect on the working environment. Despite many years of efforts from authorities, social partners and enterprises to improve the working environment, we are still lacking solid evidence for which interventions are (the most) effective.

OHS prevention is regulated, funded and organized quite differently in countries comparable with Denmark. The tools and solutions used in the OHS prevention also differ significantly. The WEA wishes to gain insight into these differences and their background and to learn from best practice.

The comparative analysis shall provide a comparative assessment of the OHS regulations, funding and organization of OHS prevention in Denmark and comparable countries. The analysis will be used for benchmarking and development of Danish solutions. The analysis might also facilitate the efforts to prioritize and spend resources in a more efficient way.

2. Purpose

To be able to benchmark Danish OHS solutions and efforts, the analysis must provide a comprehensive and comparative overview of regulation, funding, and organization of OHS prevention in countries comparable with Denmark with respect to working environment hazards and prevention needs. The focus shall be on activities imposed on enterprises. Activities not to be included are thus activities carried out by enterprises’ own volition.

3. Method

The expert group must carry out a comparative analysis of OHS regulations, funding, organization, tools and solutions in use in countries similar to Denmark (for instance The Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden, UK, and Canada (province of Ontario)). The analysis must make a comprehensive examination of:

- Important differences between the OHS regulations in the countries under examination.

- How much money is spent in each country on OHS prevention efforts and how are these efforts organized?

- Funding and organization of the labour inspectorates.

- Relations and collaborations between the labour inspectorates and other important OHS stakeholders and actors – eg the social partners and research institutions.

The analysis must include an assessment of the extent to which authorities use statistics about reported and recognized occupational accidents and diseases when planning future actions.

A comprehensive overview must be provided which outlines important differences between working environment regulation in Denmark and the countries compared. The analysis should make an assessment of whether it is possible to change Danish regulation without jeopardizing the present level of employee protection.

A comparison should be made, to the extent possible, of the reasoning and justification behind the chosen methods and effect measures in the respective countries.

The comparison must include all the various OHS tools and efforts in use, e.g. regulation, communication, campaigns, and labour inspections. In addition, the comparison must include a description of the most important outcome measures and success criteria used by the various OHS actors. These could include, but are not limited to, exposure to chemicals, work accident incidence, MSD exposure, psychosocial exposures, employee health and well-being, sickness absence, and job retention.

Finally, the impact of the labour inspectorates on OHS efforts at work places must be compared between countries.

The WEA also has a request for tenders regarding a systematic review on the effects of working environment interventions on: harmful working environment exposures, employee health, sickness absence, job retention, and enterprise productivity. The WEA wants to avoid overlap between the two studies. However, if unpublished analyses of the effects of specific interventions and efforts are identified, and can be obtained, this should be recorded in the report.

Note that this an open procedure with a reverse tendering procedure, as there is a fixed contract sum.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the applicant must complete and enclose with an application the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD), as a preliminary certificate for the conditions mentioned in section 148(1), nos. 1-3 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. Reference is made to the guidelines of the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority to the European Single Procurement Document. An economic operator participating alone and which is not based on the capacity of other entities to fulfil the selection criteria must fill in only one European Single Procurement Document. An economic operator participating alone but which is based on the capacity of one or more other entities must ensure that the contracting entity receives its own ESPD together with a separate ESPD with the information relevant for each of the entities on which this is based. Finally, when groups of economic operators, including temporary groups, participate in the procedure for the award of a contract together, each of the participating economic operators must complete a separate ESPD with the information required in parts II-V.

Before award of the final contract, the tenderer to which the contracting entity has decided to award the contract must present the following documentation with regard to the following grounds for exclusion:

a) bankruptcy, or

b) insolvency or liquidation procedures, or

c) compulsory composition, or

d) a similar situation according to a corresponding procedure laid down by national legislation, or

f) suspension of business activities.

Only documentation as stated in section 153 may be requested to document that the applicant/tenderer is not covered by grounds for exclusion.

Prior to a decision regarding award of contract, documentation for the information submitted in the ESPD must be presented, see sections 151 and 152 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. For more information, as well as the deadline, see the tender documents. Moreover, the Danish WEA reserves the option to request that the tenderer, at any time in the procedure for the award of a contract, presents documentation, if necessary, in order to ensure that the procedure has been completed correctly. In this situation, the Danish WEA will stipulate an appropriate deadline for submission of documentation.

The Danish WEA prefers the application to be submitted in 1 hard copy and 1 electronic version (e.g. on USB stick or similar). The application cannot be submitted by email. In the event of any inconsistencies between the hard copy and the electronic version, the hard copy will prevail. The envelope must be labelled ‘Fortroligt — systematisk kortlægning og komparativ analyse. Må ikke åbnes af postfunktionen’. The Danish WEA reserves the right to use the method set out in section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, if applications or tenders do not comply with the formal requirements of the tender documents.
