Factsheets
Available in 24 languages, Factsheets provide brief introductions to the Agency and to our activities. Many focus on specific concerns in occupational health and safety, or on specific sectors or groups of workers. They set out in a concise, accessible way, on a single sheet, the main health and safety risks, what can be done about them, who is responsible for dealing with them, and where to find out more.
