European Agency to target maintenance
January 1st 2010 Maintenance is the focus of
the European Agency for
Safety and
Health at Work's
Healthy Workplaces
Campaign for
2010/2011.
The campaign will be
officially launched on
28th April (World Day for Safety and
Health at Work). The Agency is
inviting nominations for the
European Good Practice Awards for
2010/11 which will recognise
companies or organisations that have
found innovative ways to support
safe maintenance.
Jukka Takal, agency director,
comments: "With over 450
Europeans dying every
day from work-related
causes, and with 6% of
European GDP being
lost because of work
accidents and ill health,
it is vital that we
continue to focus on workplace
health and safety."
Takal believes that the campaign
on safe maintenance will build on
the success of the previous campaign
on risk assessment. More articles from European Agency For Safety & Health At Work (EU-OSHA): |
