Occupational safety and health

EU-OSHA is the European Union information agency for occupational safety and health. EU-OSHA works to make European workplaces safer, healthier and more productive for the benefit of businesses, employees and governments. EU-OSHA promotes a culture of risk prevention to improve working conditions in Europe.

Key activities:

• The Healthy Workplaces Campaigns — our two-year campaigns raise awareness of occupational safety and health (OSH) topics across Europe
• Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) project — we provide online risk assessment tools for small and medium-sized enterprises to assess and manage risks in the workplace
• The ESENER survey — this extensive survey provides a snapshot of how safety and health risks are managed in European workplaces
• OSHwiki  — a collaborative online encyclopaedia of accurate and reliable information on OSH
• Foresight projects — we highlight and study new and emerging risks in OSH through dedicated foresight projects
• OSH overviews — we provide overviews on specific OSH topics and identify priorities
• NAPO films  — a series of short, lighthearted, language-free films on important workplace safety and health topics.

The EEN members are one of the main partners that help EU-OSHA achieve its objectives, together with the Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW), the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) and EU-OSHA’s national focal points.
