text: It is obvious that**better technical and organisational prevention at work**contributed to more safety 
  and the evident strong reduction in accidents.**Prominent fields and examples**of such improvements 
  are: technically safer design of moving vehicles (e.g. for fork lifts or heavy trucks and machines, light 
  and noise warning signals for moving vehicles); safer design of machines like automatic shutdowns or 
  disconnections, two-hand operating of machines (e.g. for pressing and punching), safer cranes including 
  better technologies for communication between co-workers, coverage of moving parts, safer company 
  cars (e.g. safety belts and airbags), safer tools (e.g. for drilling or cutting); improved personal protective 
  equipment like air-supplied breathing apparatus, steel mesh gloves for meat workers, trousers for forest 
  workers that resist a chainsaw; minimum safety requirements for buildings (e.g. forms and size of stairs 
  and handrails, fire exits and fire alarms, safer ladders and scaffolds), emergency equipment like eye 
  wash and emergency showers; better monitoring of acute hazards (e.g. in sewage water systems), 
  exhaust and ventilation technologies to avoid fumes, dusts, chemicals or contact with hazardous 
  biological agents; strong safety obligations for work in confined spaces, or for work at height and work 
  in trenches; introduction of explosion zones and of non-sparking tools, a comprehensive system of 
  warning signals, warning signals for slippery floors and unsafe grounds, better warning systems and 
  equipment in particularly dangerous work environments like road maintenance, combined with better 
  organisational measures; quality systems that promote continuous repair and maintenance of tools; 
  regular instructions by safety representatives and safety coordinators, and guarantee of minimum safety 
  standards of machines and products by European standards like CE (‘European Conformity’).
