"Flood alert": a new feature on eSST monitoring
Listening to the users of our Occupational Health and Safety management software...
At the request of a municipal administration, we have just created a "Flood Alert" module. Our customers can choose one or more hydrometric sensors located on the Moselle, Alzette, Our and Sûre rivers and configure them by defining the water levels triggering a pre-alert or a flood alert. This information appears directly on the dashboard (with a refresh every 15 minutes) and also, according to their needs, in the form of an email or sms alert.
More than ever, you facilitate Health and Safety at Work.
Risk assessment: how to do it?
On the occasion of the 4th HR Lux Trade Fair (March 17, 2022), Chloé Baumann from Pétillances and Eric Scholer from eSST gave a conference on occupational risk assessment.
After having reminded the legal obligations in this matter, they presented some tools of evaluation of the professional risks:
For physical risks, with the Kinney method widely used in Luxembourg. In addition to the classical indicators such as probability of occurrence, frequency of exposure and health effects, an explanation was given on the interest of a 4th criterion on risk control.
For ergonomic hazards, the OSHA assessment method
For chemical risks, an adaptation of the INRS ND2233 method taking into account the Luxembourgish obligations in this matter, in order to be able to evaluate each chemical product from the point of view of health, fire and environment.
An important focus was on the assessment of psychosocial risks, differentiating between qualitative and quantitative approaches, and even the interest of mixing the two.
If you were not able to attend, we will be happy to send you the presentation upon request.

Employers' Mutual Benefit Society: Increased Contributions for 2022
All employers are obliged to join the Employers' Mutual Insurance Association and pay an annual contribution. They are reimbursed 80 % of the wages paid to their employees during the Lohnfortzahlung. This period lasts an average of 13 weeks per calendar year during which the National Health Fund does not intervene in this risk.
Members are divided into 4 contribution classes according to their financial absenteeism rate. The latter is the ratio between the reimbursements of the Employers' Mutual Insurance Company and the contribution mass. For the year 2022, it is defined by the fraction constituted:
- in the numerator by the sum of the amounts reimbursed between the years 2018 and 2020 and
- in the denominator by the contribution base for the same period.
Absences due to accidents at work or occupational diseases, maternity leave, foster care leave, leave for pregnant and nursing women, or leave for family reasons are not taken into account.
