How to make workplaces safer, healthier and more productive?

Whether you are running a business yourself, or working for it, or doing both at once, you may think the last thing you need to worry about is safety and health at work? You may think it’s something only big organisations need to consider? But you’d be wrong – Safety and health at work is everyone’s concern. It’s good for you. It’s good for business.

Many small businesses in the European Union have already discovered that placing safety and health at the heart of their workplace not only ensures to avoid the expensive costs of injuries or production losses, but also enables employers and employees to achieve better results for themselves, their businesses and their customers. Have you?

The Healthy Workplace Initiative campaign is an initiative of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work and its national Focal Points network aimed at providing employers and employees with easy access to quality information on how to make their workplace safer, healthier and more productive.
The campaign will run in Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey.
