Highlights

EU-OSHA has launched six new presentations based on the OSH in figures in the health and social care sector report, shedding light on occupational safety and health (OSH) data in this field. 

Topics include the characterisation of workers, detailing workforce demographics such as age and gender, and OSH risks that highlights physical and psychosocial hazards faced by workers. Work-related health outcomes reveals, among other things, that 44% of workers report musculoskeletal issues. OSH management explores implementation of practices like risk assessments, while drivers and barriers examines factors influencing safe procedures. The package is completed by a presentation analysing worker participation in safety and health matters.
