"The European Commission welcomes this initiative by the European Agency for Health and Safety at Work. It complements a major campaign by the national labour inspectorates and the Commission's Committee of Senior Labour Inspectors (SLIC). Injuries caused by musculoskeletal disorders are a major contributor to work-related injuries across the European Union. Such injuries are entirely preventable. Reducing such work-related injuries is a key objective of the Commission's health and safety at work strategy 2007-2012 and it requires the commitment of all parties, national authorities, social partners and others. The Commission is keen to play its role."

"Con agradecimiento por vuestro trabajo y vuestra dedicación a una causa tan importante y tan justa. Tenéis todo nuestro apoyo. Debemos conseguir entre todos sensibilizar a la sociedad, empujar a las empresas, educar a los trabajadores y obligar a las Administraciones Públicas para lograr lo antes posible que los trabajadores no mueran y no sufran cuando van a trabajar para 'ganarse la vida'. Enhorabuena y gracias".

José Maria Fidalgo, Secretario General
