In Lithuania, 30% more serious accidents and 50% more fatal accidents occurred in 2021–2023 compared to 2018–2020. Expert assessments (E18 and E7) confirm that, given the high mortality rate, widespread violations (92% related to non-compliance, weak control and poor organisation) and the fact that more than half of loggers do not apply basic safety rules in practice, the health and safety risks for workers in this sector are clearly high. Therefore, the risk is non-negligible. — [bron]() - Type of verifier: Other (training) — [bron]() - Mitigation requirement level: Recommended — [bron]() - Associated documents: Recommendations on occupational safety and health , Safety recommendations , Protecting the health, Health and safety training procedure (incl. “safety half-hour”) — [bron]() - Risk mitigation measure: Verify that the supplier conducts monthly short employee training sessions (“safety half-hour”), during which real-life situations, examples of accidents, recent incidents and applicable prevention measures are discussed by a) verify documented procedures or programmes for regular health and safety training, including the “safety half-hour” format and topics; b) verify evidence of completed training, such as attendance logs, training materials, test results and records of employee suggestions and feedback — [bron]() - Other relevant information: The key aim is improve workplace health and safety culture and reduce accidents by verifying that the supplier delivers monthly “safety half-hour” trainings. This measure can be strengthened by making monthly “safety half‑hour” sessions a formal part of the work schedule, led by supervisors, with participation from both employees and management to show clear top‑level commitment. Using real accident cases from the company, national Labour Inspectorate reports help employees relate training content directly to their own tasks and understand how similar incidents could happen in their specific work sites. Keeping signed attendance logs, test results, and summaries of topics discussed provides objective evidence of ongoing training and allows the company to track whether high‑risk topics. Systematically collecting and reviewing workers’ suggestions helps create a feedback loop where employees see that their input leads to concrete improvements, which in turn increases engagement and compliance with safety rules. — [bron]() - Source workbook row: 5 — [bron]() ## Relaties - Onderdeel van: [FSC Risk Assessment voor Litouwen — 2-0]() (`isPartOf`) - Over: [Litouwen]() (`about`) - Over: [FSC Risk Assessment indicator 23 — Facilities and activities are safe and support worker’s health, and workers have access to and use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment commensurate with the activities undertaken.]() (`about`) - Over: [Litouwen: FSC-indicator 23 — non-negligible risk]() (`about`) - Vermeldt: [Mitigation measure onder het FSC Risk Assessment Framework]() (`mentions`) - Vermeldt: [Non-negligible risk onder het FSC Risk Assessment Framework]() (`mentions`) - Vermeldt: [State-owned forest with a management plan — FSC Risk Assessment Litouwen]() (`mentions`) - Vermeldt: [Privately-owned forest — FSC Risk Assessment Litouwen]() (`mentions`) - Vermeldt: [State-owned forest without a management plan — FSC Risk Assessment Litouwen]() (`mentions`) ## Identificaties - FSC Risk Mitigation row: `FSC-RA-LTU-02-2026 row 5` — [resolver]() - FSC risk indicator: `23` — [resolver]() ## Bronnen - [Bron](): Official FSC Risk Assessment FSC-RA-LTU-02-2026; Risk Mitigation worksheet row 5. ## Andere representaties - [HTML]() - [Schema.org JSON-LD]() - [Volledig RDF JSON-LD]() - [Turtle]()
