World Day for Safety and Health at Work - 28 April 2005

'Around 60 million employees in Europe are exposed to potentially dangerous levels of noise for at least a quarter of their time at work and noise induced hearing loss is still accounting for about one third of all work-related diseases'- This is why this year's European Week for Safety and Health at Work focuses on the issue of noise at work. If you wish to be active in this year's campaign, you are eligible to sign the Campaign Charter and receive a certificate in recognition of your commitment to improving the noise level at work.

European Transport Workers' Federation
"The European Transport Workers' Federation is acutely aware of the impact excessive workplace noise can have on the health and safety of transport workers. Risk assessment and prevention are the key to protecting them. The Bilbao Agency campaign, aimed at raising awareness of the problems associated with noise and providing information on the topic to workers and employers across Europe, is one we fully support. We are pleased to be an active campaign partner by helping to get the message across."

Eduardo Chagas, General Secretary of the European Transport Workers' Federation
