A construction company contacted a theatrical group to carry out an in-depth assessment of their health and safety culture. Based on their experience the theatre company wrote and performed a series of 15-minute plays using professional actors followed by workshop discussions. The subjects covered site induction, safety communications, sub-contractors, working at height, and the image of the industry. The event was a huge success and 30 members of staff attended each day for three days during the Week.

"Our message is that we all share responsibility for protecting young people at work. Employers have a duty of care and are legally responsible for the health and safety of their workers, and EU law recognises that young people need special protection. But this is also an issue for parents, for health and safety professionals, and for the education community. And ultimately, it's an issue for policymakers. We all have to work together, to make sure that young people have a safe and healthy start to their working lives."

Vladimír Špidla, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities
