[en] In 1978, the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs of Israel appointed a committee to review the state of safety at work in Israel. The basic findings of the committee are presented which could have general relevance to many developed and developing countries where similar conditions to that of Israel may exist. Some of the specific findings of the committee regarding the Israeli situation are also presented. The major recommendations of the committee are then listed 1) at the facility level, 2) at the national level and 3) for specific fields. Many of the recommendations are based on practices which evolved and are used in the nuclear field. Basically, the report calls for the introduction of a similarly organized, systematic approach to the different industrial hazards. (UK)
