Harassment at work, whether in person or online, has serious consequences for workers’ safety, health and wellbeing.

Almost 1 in 3 women across the EU have experienced sexual harassment at work, ranging from inappropriate jokes to exposure to sexually explicit images. As digital technologies become increasingly embedded in working life, they create new risks for harassment and violence towards workers from colleagues and third parties.

Employers need to address harassment in all its forms. Explore EU-OSHA’s resources to better understand workplace harassment and discover practical prevention measures, including our Online interactive Risk Assessment (OiRA) tool on harassment and sexual harassment.
