  **Supervision is only one approach to implementing legislation.**As mentioned, supervision by state 
  authorities can only reach a small share of all enterprises, particularly not the many small ones and the 
  self-employed. In addition to supervision and control, a broad variety of**prevention-supporting**
  **activities**has been developed during the past decades.388 
  
  The authors of EU-OSHA’s ‘Supporting compliance’ reports state a strong increase in ‘compliance 
  promotion strategies’. They write:*‘The regulatory changes have been matched in more recent times by*
  *an increasingly diverse set of compliance promotion strategies. Not only has public regulation sought to*
  *engage and encourage duty holders in the pursuit of forms of regulated self-regulation, but … the*
  *discourse on regulation itself has sought a far broader understanding of its meaning and the role of the*
  *private and public regulatory actors and processes potentially involved in both defining and securing*
  *compliance.’389*
