The European Agency for Safety and
Health at Work (EU-OSHA) has
launched its new two-year Healthy
Workplaces Campaign on Working
together for risk prevention. EU
workplaces are safer and healthier
than ever, yet every year there are 6.9
million accidents and millions more
work-related diseases. The human
suffering of poor safety and health is
immeasurable; the economic cost is
estimated at €490bn a year, more than
half the current cost of the EU’s
financial crisis bail-out fund.

EU-OSHA’s campaign puts the
spotlight on the importance of
management leadership and worker
participation in improving workplace
safety and health.
