Health and safety at work: EU objectives for 2014-2020
07 July 2014
The Commission
has published a new Strategic Framework on Health and Safety at Work 2014-2020,
which identifies key challenges and strategic objectives for health and safety
at work, with related actions and instruments to address them.
The three major
challenges identified include improving the implementation of existing health
and safety rules (in particular enhancing the capacity of micro + small
enterprises), improving the prevention of work-related diseases by tacking new
and emerging risks, and taking into account the ageing of the EU's workforce.
Health, safety and well-being at the workplace are core issues in the programme
of sectoral social dialogue for commerce. EuroCommerce and UNI Europa commerce will
continue their cooperation in this issue and prepare a new project to be
implemented with the financial support from the Commission with special focus
on ergonomics, psychosocial risks and stress at work.
