Safety and well-being at work is one of the most important and developed aspects of the EU employment and social affairs policy. This field is an integral part of the conception, organization and development of work processes and has the role, by means of specific measures and means, to prevent possible dysfunctions in the labor system, so that the labor process takes place in the most efficient way. The ultimate goal alt EU level is to protect the lives, integrity and health of workers against the risks of injury and occupational illness that may occur at work and to create working conditions designed to provide them with physical, mental and social comfort. Our responsibility as member states is to align to the EU policy in the field and thus requires a transnational approach and exchange of good practices. The authorities responsible for national public order and safety, are responsible for the organization, coordination and supervision of the activity in the area of occupational health and safety within their units due to the particular categories of personnel employed by these institutions (policeman and military personnel). In this context, we needs to take immediate action and design its policy in the area considering the particularities of the work environment within its units. The support measures requested will help to correlate the institutional actions in the area of occupational safety and health with the strategic lines set at national and European level. I. Improvement of the institutional capacity to reduce the risks and work-related accidents through measures based on scientific analysis and a valid mechanism of data collection.II. Upgrading of policy in the field of safety and well-being in workplace in law enforcement systems through integration of HR, Health and Occupational Psychology activities into a system of multidisciplinary services.III. Improvement of the institutional capacity to increase safety and well-being in workplace through restructuring the periodical evaluations and interventions so they become more accessible at local level.The increased capacity to gather data in an integrated manner will allow for the integration of local data in performing comprehensive analysis. Also, tools, materials, procedures, resources adapted to the European context and addressed to professionals will become available, assuming new cooperation commitments in multi-disciplinary and pluri-disciplinary teams at local and regional level. The direct beneficiaries of improved occupational safety and health standards are most of them working in highly exposed functions (police, gendarmerie, emergency services, border guard), who will benefit from improved working conditions. Indirectly, these actions will result in improved performance of law enforcement authorities and departments, improving thus the overall functioning of society. The implementation of the proposed measures will produce a structural change in the area of human resources management central units and its subordinated structures, and will impact upon the central public administration as a whole. The expected impact consists in improved working conditions and increased efficiency of human resources management in law enforcement through the development of the institutional mechanisms and necessary competences to ensure the proper administration of the human capital – a strategic resource of the organization, highly important for the consolidation of the knowledge based economy, a goal which has been set at European level through the Europe 2020 Strategy. The strategic documents and instruments developed through this action will ensure an appropriate work environment and protection of employees against professional accidents and diseases and the provision of proper care when these occur. Through this action, the awareness level is raised among decision makers regarding the importance and benefits of ensuring a healthy and safe environment for the employees. In addition, by involving staff in joint teams with external experts throughout the various stages of project implementation, there will be ensured the transfer of the skills necessary for the modernization of the institution. The desired increase of synergies, complementarities and avoidance of duplicities in taking all the actions necessary for validating tools and instruments reviewed by experts, which otherwise they wouldn't have met to work together, to commonly use and share their resources and their experience in order to develop innovative techniques, methods, tools and instruments tailored to meet the needs of each partner. Impact of the project will take the form of networking with other relevant institutions, and through the dissemination within regular conferences/seminars/forums we expect to increase the interest of other stakeholders to adopt the integrated system and multidisciplinary approach developed in the project SAFEWELL.
