Articles 6 and 7 of the Agreement How? • Reporting to the NEPSI Council is done in a consolidated way from site to EU sector level • Objective: the number of Non-applications shall progressively decrease unless further improvement can not be achieved (retain status quo) • Non-application: the non observance of the Agreement and Good Practices results in increased exposure, in turn resulting in increased risk • A list of sites in repeated situations of Non-application will be annexed to the consolidated report. • … A reporting format was developed in Annex 3 of the Agreement
Data to be reported • Section 1: Site information • Number of Employees on site • Section 2: Exposure Risk • Number of potentially exposed to Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) • Section 3: Risk Assessment and Dust Monitoring • Number of Employees potentially exposed to RCS covered by Risk Assessment and Dust Monitoring • Section 4: Health Surveillance • Number of Employees potentially exposed to RCS covered by a generic health Surveillance Protocol and by the Health Surveillance Protocol for Silicosis • Section 5: Training • Number of Employees potentially exposed to RCS trained on the General Principles of prevention and on the Good Practice Guide Task Sheets • Section 6: Good Practices • Application of technical and organizational to reduce generation / dispersion of RCS, distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) • Section 7: Key Notes to be structured into Voluntary Questions: • Free text

Calculation of Key Performance Indicators Among the number of Employees potentially exposed to Respirable Crystalline Silica on the site, % of Employees covered by: in 2010
Consolidation Consolidation of the site reports into EU Sector reports to be presented to the NEPSI Council. Originally, site reporting and consolidation of site reports at company, national and EU levels successively should have been made through Excel sheets (See Annex 3 of the Agreement) In 2008 a Reporting online system was set up
The reporting system • Set up an online reporting system in 22 EU languages to serve the following purposes: • Allow sites to fill in reporting data on line, in a user-friendly format including guidance • Automatically consolidate site reports into consolidated reports for each of the entities (associations / companies) which may need to be involved. • Facilitate theidentification and contact of all the sites which are submitted to reporting under the Agreement, and all the entities which will be involved.
Definition As the highest level Member in the reporting process, NEPSI will use the system to launch a top-down Member enrolment process within each of its sectors. In 2010, we will send Reminders to report, not re-enrol Members i.e. Enrolment by NEPSI of each EU Sector Association as a member in the reporting process, enrolment by each EU Sector Association of its Members involved in the reporting process, etc… until a company enrols its sites.
Principles • Members from the EU Association, Company and Site levels must ALWAYS be involved. • Members from other levels do not have to be involved. • Group Company / National Association Members can not coexist in the reporting process between EU Association and Controlling Company / Company levels. • For each Member enrolled, the system will produce a consolidated report of the quantitative data provided by the sites it is linked to. Each Member will have access to its own consolidated report, and to the consolidated reports of the Members it has enrolled. Therefore, only Companies will have access to raw site data.
Enrolment (down the chain) Site NEPSI Automatic consolidation (up the chain) Filling in
Optional Group Company OR NEPSI European Sector Level (Signatory) Company (national legal entity) Site National sector level Controlling Company Automatic consolidation process At each level, access to consolidated report and individual reports from members / sites (1 level below) Filling in May be delegated to higher levels 15/02/2010 Deadline 16-17/06/2010 NEPSI Council meeting
1: Enrolment 1 Reception of an invitation to enrol (i.e. a unique hyperlink and PIN code) 2 Access to the system through the hyperlink and PIN code, agreement to enrol 3 Creation of further links down the chain Enter: name of the link, e-mail of the contact person, country, sector, … This process is repeated by each link created in the chain, until a site receives an invitation from its company.
2: Data entering and consolidation 1 At site level, the recipient of the invitation to enrol is offered the possibility to fill in the reporting questionnaire. 2 Key Performance Indicators calculated on the basis of the data provided by the site. Include remarks in a ‘Voluntary Questions” section 3 Consolidation of data provided by the sites Sites’ data are consolidated up the reporting chains built at enrolment stage
Possible reporting “chains” • There are six possible types of reporting chains (filled cells)… • Major software rule: one Member can have several child Members, but only one parent Member
Split Members in the reporting chain(at enrolment stage) • Company B should have two parents as it is a member of 2 sector associations • Company B may be split into two “companies”, one for each sector it belongs to and receive two invitations • A Site can not be split: When a multiple sector activity occurs on a specific site, please report only on core activity for that site. NEPSI Sector 1 Sector 2 Company A Company B Site a Site b Site c Site d Site e
Option 2: Read-Only Guests in the reporting chain • A Read-only guest can be any entity which is not included in the reporting process but needs to have access to a Company or Controlling Company’s reporting data. • When registered as such by a Controlling Company, a Read-only guest will have access to the Controlling Company’s consolidated report and to the reports of the Controlling Company’s Members, i.e. Companies. • When registered as such by a Company, a Read-only guest will have access to the Company’s consolidated report and to the reports of the Company’s Members, i.e. Sites. • Please keep the number of Read-Only Guests to a minimum. In order not to overload the system a maximum of 3 Read-only Guests has been set per entity. • A facility for consolidating all the reports of the entities that have enrolled you as a guest is available
Read-Only Guests • When could the Read-Only Guest option be needed? • Company B is a direct member of EU Sector 1, but is a member of EU Sector 2 through a national sector association. • Company B belongs to a Group Company. Group Company and National sector association can not co-exist in the same chain • But the Group Company can be inserted as a Friend at consolidation stage.
