33% reduction in accidents

An engineering company reduced reported accidents by 33% over a 12-month period. They launched a counselling service, First Aid training days, and an ongoing programme of health and safety awareness training. During the Week, they organised daily e-mails to remind everyone of the Week’s events as well as extensive poster displays, leaflet distribution, site surveys, risk assessments, training, competitions and newsletters.

"UNI-Europa Youth organises young workers up to the age of 35 from 350 unions throughout Europe, and sees its main role in addressing problems that young workers face on the labour market, and advancing the position of young workers. Young people are the future of the labour market; health and safety standards are a focal point for our members and us. Therefore UNI-Europa fully supports the Safe Start Campaign; it brings together the issues that form the basis of a working social Europe."
