The main objective of the Inspection Programme in Municipalities was to enhance enforcement of OSH legislation in high-risk activities within Greek municipalities. The campaign focused on waste collection and disposal, technical services, and environmental services. Inspections examined various aspects of occupational safety and health, including OSH management, machinery standards, and compliance with relevant legislation.

The priority area was selected based on the Hellenic Labour Inspectorate's (HLI) experience and data from their Integrated Information System (IIS). High risks associated with municipal activities were the main reasons for selection. The campaign aimed to examine the problem, provide information on legal requirements, and enforce compliance. The number of municipalities to be inspected was determined by regional services, considering factors such as the number of inspectors, geographical characteristics, and available resources. The breakdown of inspections across regions took account of typical entities, the number of inspectors, and hazard levels measured by workplace accident rates.

Inspections were carried out evenly throughout the six-month campaign, with directions for re-inspections where possible. Workplace visits lasted 2-4 hours, with office activities typically taking up to 2 hours. At least 80% of inspectors were involved. No additional training was provided. Inspectors were equipped with relevant campaign information, a checklist, and inspection report sheets. The HLI's Integrated Information System was used to access historical data. Some inspectors used tablets with a specialized app for direct delivery of inspection notices. Two people at the central level and ten at the regional level supervised implementation, including document development and result summarization.
