EU-OSHA fully recognises its responsibility and role in contributing to the aim of creating a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy with high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion. Better working conditions is one of the key contributions to reducing health inequalities and promoting a healthy and active ageing population. In 2012 a new EU policy document on occupational safety and health is expected. It is important to make sure that EU-OSHA is prepared to play its full part in achieving the policy objectives for Europe. Therefore the Agency aims at preparing its own new strategy in 2012

Contributing to safer, healthier and more productive workplaces is EU-OSHA’s vision. In other words, safety, health and productivity go hand in hand. This is perfectly in line with the “Europe 2020” strategy which says “Europe needs to make full use of its labour potential to face the challenges of an ageing population and rising global competition”. Going from the current 69 per cent of the population aged 20-64 in employment to 75 per cent in 2020 is not going to be achieved without a considerable contribution from better occupational safety and health at European workplaces.
