The main objective of the targeted inspections was to raise awareness of the hazards associated with carcinogenic chemicals and work processes and to prevent health risks. During the inspections carried out in the framework of the campaign, the inspectors identified 435 infringements, 166 of which were formalised as written precepts, which meant that more than 7 calendar days were needed to remedy them.

The priority area of the campaign was selected on the basis of analyses of the research results presented by the National Institute for Health Development. The research report was titled 'Estimation of the number of occupational cancer cases in Estonia'. A particular hazard in a specific sector was defined as priority area of the campaign – it was exposure to wood dust in manufacturing of furniture and exposure to diesel exhaust in car’s maintenance.

Estonian labour inspectorate does not have regions but it was planned to cover whole Estonia’s territory by inspection activities to get objective picture. IT tools were used to identify the target group of inspected entities: information on economic sector, number of employees, location, exposure to CMR in labour inspectorate’s database was taken into account.

Inspections were carried out throughout the whole two months period of the campaign. The duration of the inspection activities carried out in the inspected entity in the framework of the campaign was between 2 and 4 hours. As well as the duration of the activities carried out in the office of the labour inspectorate.

A task force group consisting of 12 inspectors was established in the labour inspectorate. Inspections conducted within the framework of the campaign were assigned to the task force group. The rationale and the description of the inspection activities, as well as the checklists, were at the inspectors' disposal during the inspection activities. Notice letters were sent to entities selected for inspections.

Two people – leading senior labour inspector and head of the unit – were involved in the monitoring and coordination activity. They assisted labour inspectors in solving problems and monitored the implementation level of the quantitative and qualitative plan through the labour inspectorate’s IT tools.

Cooperation between the labour inspectorate and employers' associations was initiated at the stage of popularizing the information about the results of the inspection activity performed in the framework of the campaign. Special meeting and thematic events were organized for employers' organizations after inspections. Also radio podcasts were issued.

According to the information obtained by the labour inspectorate, the level of awareness of occupational safety and health in basic and vocational schools was low. In order to improve the situation, the labour inspectorate prepared and published the Working Environment Handbook, organised a thematic event related to the publication and promotion of the handbook and notified all basic and vocational schools about the publication. The principals of the schools covered by the project were given the opportunity to invite a working environment consultant, whose task was to advise the school staff, especially technology class teachers, on how to improve the awareness of OSH in technology classes.

The planning and implementation of the project was financed entirely by the labour inspectorate's own funds. The project was entirely prepared by an organisational unit of the labour inspectorate, which was responsible for developing and publishing the Working Environment Handbook, organising the thematic event to promote the project and the publication, preparing notice letters on the project implementation and the possibility to enrol in it, as well as conducting consultations in schools. The target group of the project and different stages of the project implementation are described in the project plan.

In the framework of the project, experts from the labour inspectorate developed a two-part Working Environment Handbook, which was then published and promoted by the labour inspectorate (distribution of publications, e-mailing, newsletter). The first part of the handbook included the following issues: labour inspection, basic occupational health and safety regulations, instruction and training, preventive health care, first aid, protective equipment, work clothing and footwear, warning signs and signals, working and rest time, accidents at work, work-related diseases, juvenile labour, parental protection. The second part of the publication discussed different types of risks in the working environment: physiological, chemical, biological, psychosocial and physical.

Activities of the labour inspectorate to support technology class teachers in basic and vocational schools consisted - in addition to providing the Working Environment Handbook – in the organisation of training and consultations aimed at the school staff participating in the programme.
