ProBE has achieved continued success in reducing the
number of work-related fatalities in targeted sectors
(table 7). For example, four priority areas were targeted
in 2007: i) work at heights, ii) forklifts, iii) lifting
equipment and iv) work in noisy environments. An
overall reduction of more than 20 per cent in related
fatalities from 2006 to 2007 was achieved in these four
priority areas.
