Federation of Occupational Health Nurses within the European Union (FOHNEU)

"As the largest single group delivering health care at the workplace Occupational Health Nurses are in a pivotal position to contribute to the identification and elimination of risks and implementation of health promotion strategies. We already play a major role in bridging the gap from theory to practice and establishing the ‘help to self-help’ principles through the concept of empowerment. Reduction of long-term sickness absence through return to work rehabilitation programmes in connection with MSDs will result in human and economic benefits at individual, company, organisation, national and EU levels. Good Health is Good Business."

"The ILO is delighted with your initiative to launch this campaign on musculoskeletal disorders. This is indeed one of the growing problems in our modern society, still underestimated or ignored in many cases. I am sure that this will be another area of work where the ILO and the Bilbao Agency will continue to work in synergy and in a complementary manner, tackling the European and global dimensions of the problem on the basis of the same values and objectives."

Eddy Laurijssen, Director of the ILO Brussels Office
