Highlights

A recently published EU-OSHA report Home care workers – a comprehensive overview of occupational safety and health risks examines occupational safety and health in home care, a crucial yet often neglected part of the EU’s health and social care system.

It identifies risks like musculoskeletal disorders, psychosocial challenges and poor working conditions, emphasising the importance of prevention and worker participation.

The report is accompanied by six case studies and a policy brief offering recommendations and solutions from across the EU, from ergonomic and self-organised approaches to regulatory reforms.
