World No Tobacco Day – It’s Time to Stamp out Smoking at Work 30.05.2011
31st May is World No Tobacco Day. It is well known that smoke is bad for your health. However, thousands of workers are still exposed to tobacco smoke at their workplaces.
The European Commission is launching during the 4th quarter of 2011 the second stage consultation of the social partners about its initiative on “Occupational exposure to environmental tobacco smoke”. EU-OSHA is supporting smoke-free workplaces by making available information to help employers, smoking and non-smoking workers to prevent and stop exposure to tobacco smoke at the workplace.
