The 'Healthy workplaces' campaign has received the support of 13 new official partners: Cefic, EBC, Ecta, EFBWW, ENSHPO, ETF, Etsa, Ewea-Aee, Fiec, Fohneu, Hamilton Sundstrand, Ishcco and KRKA. The initiative, organised by the European Agency for safety and health at work (EU-Osha), has been adding support of pan-European and multinational organizations, with which completed the first year of campaign, the number of official partners amounts to 30.
The campaign aims to reduce occupational accidents and occupational diseases by promoting risk assessment, given that this is the first step towards a sustainable prevention culture. It is necessary to urgently make improvements in this area since it is estimated that each year die 167,000 people in the European Union by work-related causes.
