"11 million workers in the construction industry count on real improvements to working conditions to save their health. For 70% of them MSDs is the main problem. It is preventing them earning a living, and it also affects them when they are getting older. So the EFBWW goes for clear rules and standards, and their proper implementation. Let us go on the offensive for better, lighter work."
