"Occupational risk prevention and a reduction of work accidents are permanent priorities of the EFCI and its member associations. Staff training must systematically integrate employee occupational health and safety, whether conducted outside or within a company, whether formal (training sessions) or informal (in the field). The EFCI and its social partner UNI-Europa have produced a general manual on the protection of health and safety in office cleaning. The European social partners intend to actively pursue their work in the area of training and awareness raising of employers and employees to occupational risk prevention and decreasing the occurrence of work-related accidents. Due to the importance of musculoskeletal disorders in the industry, the EFCI and UNI-Europa have started to develop a manual on ergonomics in cleaning activities, providing concrete illustrations of good and bad work postures in the framework of current cleaning activities."

"Las enfermedades profesionales son en España y Andalucía la parte invisible de la prevención de riesgos, y la causa de infinidad de bajas por enfermedad, enfermedades crónicas, y una causa de muerte como consecuencia del trabajo. Erradicar las causas que las provocan es una de las prioridades sindicales de CCOO de Andalucía"

Francisco Carbonero Cantador, Secretario general de CCOO Andalucía
