Over the 10 years that the Agency has existed, the European Union has made significant progress in improving the occupational safety and health (OSH) of its 220 million workers.
But work-related accidents and ill health are still a huge problem, both ethically and economically – a problem that is, in very large measure, preventable.
Of course, no organisation is perfect, but in terms of health and safety the diff erence between the best and worst companies is huge. Good practice is there to be followed.
