Green jobs and occupational safety and health: foresight on new and emerging risks associated with new technologies by 2020

This report describes the project ‘Foresight of new and emerging risks to occupational safety and health associated with new technologies in green jobs by 2020’, carried out for the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). The outcome of the project was a set of scenarios covering a range of new technologies in green jobs, with the impact that each could have on workers’ health and safety. They are intended to inform EU policy-makers, Member States’ governments, and trade unions and employers, allowing them to take decisions to shape the future of green jobs, focusing on safer and healthier workplaces.
